Test Camp
summary
Four concrete testing roles compete: developers testing their own code with unit testing and TDD (fast detection, deep code knowledge, but biased blind spots), developers testing peers via code reviews (slower but more objective), dedicated testers using many techniques and tools (later detection, single-hat focus), and customers as accidental testers—beta/prod exposure that risks data loss and slow feedback. The claim: no single approach suffices; combine them into a layered strategy.
