After 15 years of sitting on both sides of bug reports, I've seen the full spectrum of Dev/QA relationships, from amazingly productive partnerships to outright warfare. This talk explores the deeply personal dynamics that make this relationship simultaneously essential and exhausting.

Whether you've ever muttered the words, "it works on my machine" or "did you even test this?", this talk will help you understand the person on the other side of that Jira ticket, and maybe even appreciate them.

Key Takeaways:
- Understanding the dynamics behind Dev/QA conflict.
- Communication strategies for both roles.
- Reframing QA feedback as a gift, not a judgment.
- Building mutual respect that elevates the entire team.
