Recently a new client asked me to review a product built by another developer. He had outsourced it to some development agency.

Everything looked fine , untill I tested it.

I was able to delete a category that was already linked to products.It didn’t show any warning.

People say, “tester missed it.” But this was an issue in all modules.

This kind of validation should be standard from day one.

So , its not about tester , it’s a absence of strong application foundation. To have that you need a experienced developer.

Agency has one project manager who handles 5 projects at a time with bunch of code monkeys.

Sometimes, solo individual developer are far better than agency.
