Everyone feels it is necessary for testers and developers to collaborate,<\/p>\n
But then why don’t we see them do it most of the time?<\/p>\n
Off course there is no one answer to this.<\/p>\n
Over the years I’ve seen many reasons, and will keep discovering new ones.<\/p>\n
The one that I hate the most – middle management is not ready to loose control.<\/p>\n
Sometimes management at both sides wants to ‘horde’ power and deliberately create these barriers.<\/p>\n
“Your tester should not talk to my developer, there taking too much time”<\/p>\n
“Developers should do their unit test and not ask testers to do that for them”<\/p>\n
The root cause at most of these, afraid to loose control and give freedom to the team to act for themselves.<\/p>\n
I can tell you from experience, loosing control is sometimes scary, but you need to have faith and build mutual trust.<\/p>\n
With these silos the product suffers, and the workplace becomes an unpleasant place for no reason.<\/p>\n
So build trust and have faith. You tried to hire great people, now give them the liberty and freedom to shine.<\/p>\n
