Imagine there's a developer and a requirements gatherer working in a team and a customer asks for a chip. The requirements gatherer(RG) tells the dev to make a 14-pin IC for the said purpose. The dev after initial designs realises that 14 pins are not enough, but sends the IC with a few functionalities compromised, nonetheless. The customer realises the fault and complains to the company. Now who is to take the blame for it. RG or dev?

Director of QA questions were hypothetical situations on what I would do as far as testing a certain way, how would I manage that in CICD, what types of quality gates would I use, how would I use that data to improve code coverage and to get faster feedback to devs, etc.
