So, does it seem that the roles are merging? Yes and No. In my opinion, the roleof a developer and the one of a tester are still separate roles and each havetheir own area of expertise. But with the expansion of cross functional teamsand the need for faster iterations we all have to learn from each other in orderto have the best product. We should always have the bigger picture in mind, theproduct, the customers and when all else fails, don't forget to talk to eachother.
