I suspect that in other companies, when a product is handed off to the QA folks to test and verify functionality, the engineers are not still fucking with the code. I mean, if they were, then that would mean it wasn't ready for testing, right? RIGHT?!?!

It's rather difficult to keep track of results and progress flows when the database keeps changing and all the settings get re-set while you're in the middle of testing.

Grr.

It sucks when you go on a rant, then realize that what happened was no one's fault at all. No, not even the engineer's. On the other hand, my job is a whole lot easier now.
