Voice of software testers

Few days back, there was a discussion on STC, what testers hate about testing, Rosie Shery concluded different comments, I liked following comments

• Finding the same silly bugs year after year whatever program you are testing - leaving an input box blank, finding that 99999999999 overflows. etc
• Calling testers as QA (Quality Assurance), QA is process but not a designation title.
• Unreliable test environments where most of my time and effort is expended identifying
  environment issues rather than product issues.
• Code that isn't architected in a testable manner, causing testers to have to write ntegration tests when simple unit tests could find the same bugs.
• Testers who get comfortable with what they already know and stop pushing themselves to learn more.
• Developers believing they know HOW to test, WHEN to test and WHAT to test. (Note: Not aimed at ALL devs. Just some of them.) (Note: If they do know testing - then why do we find so many bugs?)
• Delivery date stays the same when development time spills over (way over).
• No/Bad/Clueless responses from project managers.
• Sometimes we view ourselves as second citizens.
• The perception that a career in testing is somehow of less value.
• Successful testing is about passing tests.
• Testers testing on a developer's PC, and bad lab environment for testing.
• Generate and share meaningless reports/metrics.
• Waiting for the release to happen from development team.
• Testing team not informed about the changes.
• Testing time being crunched because developers ran over
