Are you a test lead or manager? How do you deal with failure of your team? I’m interested in how you deal with individuals that fail in their jobs, as well as an entire team that failed in a task.How do you hold individual QA accountable?
I’ve had to review a lot of resumes in the past year and a half or so, and have done a lot of phone interviews and more in-person. I’m not a recruiter, I’m not HR, I’m QA. I see the resumes of those applying for QA positions. I see a lot of WTF in…
