As a QA Manager I have noticed each of these symptoms but do not always recognize their impact. You make a strong case to testers about the importance of how we collaborate with our colleagues.

I'd say there is a lack of #3 and #6 in too many testing projects. So explicit stating of them should be very useful. Yvette, thanks for the article, it's great.

An ugly interface can be due to many issues rather than simply because of silly color combination. There are usability concerns with UI. So, throwing away UI issues in not being positive at some scenarios. However, I enjoyed this article very much. Both developers and testers definitely work hard to achieve the same thing. They are two sailors of the same boat. Hence, they must have mutual understanding and respect to each others effort. Thanks. I don’t think i agree completely with number five.

I've been working on my reporting from the time I started testing and these clues will certainly make my reports better. Thanks a lot.. Off Topic: I'm surprised to see there are no comments for this post!! (Or is it some problem with my browser??) I'm sure the community is reading this and these kind of posts should get more feedback. What you say? :) Hi Yvette,
