I still fondly remember the QA guy on the first consumer electronics project I worked on. He didn't do scripting or test harnesses or dependency injection, he used the product and filed good bugs telling us what would fuck up our customer's expectations.

A good QA person helps with product design too if you let them.

Andy B,, I'd work with you again in a second.

He was exactly the kind of guy who doesn't get hired any more because companies "know better".

And stuff gets crappier every year somehow.
