How to Organize Ethical QA Rules in an Organization
summary
A clear claim: ethical QA needs organizational rules, not personal courage. Real evidence: the dieselgate case shows a V-model applied to a cheating device, over 10 million cars sold, stock falling by one‑third and roughly $30 billion fines — the cheating was designed, specified, tested and shipped. Practical actions shown: embed ethics in test plans and policies, give testers autonomy, run weekly syncs, require justification for tradeoffs and reject release candidates when risks lack mitigation.
