One of my favorite quotes when QA ‘let’ an obvious bug into production was:
“We stopped testing his code five years ago.”
You can take this in many ways, but in the end getting the right amount of testing is a really hard Cost / Benefit problem and there is no one size fit’s all solution.
PS: From the same dev, "I don't trust QA." and "TDD/Code contracts/etc. sounds nice, but knowing what the output should be is really the hard part and tests don't help you with that."
