Do you not at least have CI to run unit tests?!

He claimed he ran unit tests, but later made a small change to the code. Thought its unnecessary to re-run unit tests.

Exact conversion is like 'I tested code & after that made a small 1-line change & looks like missed something, sorry about that, pls don't tell it bosses :P'

I would strongly suggest you persuade the powers that be to set up some sort of automatic testing. It's not difficult to set up and it will save you from so much heartache down the road.

Yes,thats right. This happened few years back while working as Tester.While I was using QA, we focused/worked more on automated testing. Now switched companies & later moved from QA to dev team.
