Our Quality Advocates are responsible for being the voice of quality throughout the software development life cycle. Quality advocates perform exploratory quality control testing in order to determine whether each individual feature or bug fix has been completed correctly and completely. Quality Advocates also inspect and collaboratively refine the development processes to ensure quality is assured in every step. At Menlo, Quality Advocates work in pairs and are a shared resource, contributing to different projects as needed. The sharing of technical and project knowledge is a natural part of our process, preventing any one person from becoming a tower of knowledge.
