alt Hacker News> When a person becomes a manager, they do or do not have enough time and expertise to review all of the code that they trust the team to produce.
> Managers usually get into automated testing; unit tests, integration tests, acceptance tests, and maybe also BDD syntax
I can see managers getting involved into acceptance tests, but never in the other type of tests. And the verification mostly is involved into a quick manual testing/watching a demo. Code is not their concern. When there's a bug, they expect you to investigate and fix it.
Managers often still have code and team-lead responsibilities IME. First-line managers, that is.
And then sometimes you report a memory leak and it gets fixed by a VP and you wonder if he doesn't have something better to do.
