We miss a QA team, we face too much regressions

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

With the considerable HW effort, a lot of things are going on recently, and it's hard to follow. I though noticed that we experience more and more 
regressions (not all related to HW effort, far from it).

Fortunately it's so far mostly minor points and often related with the UI, 
OFBIZ-7346 and OFBIZ-7363 being counter examples (OFBIZ-7346 can be critical)

From my experience, w/o a QA person or team, it's very hard to detect those side effects at the UI level when you refactor or fix it. I remember the 
(ex) Neogia team (mostly Erwan) tried to maintain a Selenium/Webdriver set of tests. I don't know if they continue/d.

Since we spoke about Junit and unit tests recently, some prefer TestNG, at 
least coupled with Selenium http://testng.org/doc/selenium.html

Does it make sense, do you think it's only an utopia?

Thanks

Jacques
