I believe testing/QA is a collective responsibility yes. In larger organisations you may have need for specialised people who dedicate more time to it. In a small business I wouldn't hire a "tester".
Doesn’t that depend on the definition of small business? In some jurisdictions, small business is less than 15 employees, in others less than 50 employees. I wouldn’t go so far as to rule out dedicated testers here.
But in any case, the question then becomes at what point is a dedicated person more valuable, if at all?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
