Why Developers don't do testing?

Devolopers are the builders of the application, they understoods BRD and FS document and devolops the build in their way.
But, some times, they misunderstanding the requirements and as
per their thinking, they build the application (with errors).
2) Optimistic developers: I wrote the code and I am confident it’s working properly. No need to test this path, no need to test that path, as I know it’s working properly. And right here developers skip the bugs.

Because developers are not supposed to test the application. This is a testing team tasks and responsibility.

Hi all,Earlier Developers used to do testing when there is no preference for testing. They used to do Unit testing, Integrating testing of the code and they used to do functionality testing. Now software has Super power. Everything in this world depends on Software. With out S/W nothing can be done these days. So priority is high for a good product. So automatically testing came in to picture. Now-a-days with out testing no product or project can be released. Company like microsoft maintain 1:1 ratio from developers to tester. They give preference for testing most of the cases. Even though they put so many efforts in testing, still they find bugs on Operating systems and they are realeasing patches for the O/S. So, Finally what i want to say is No testing-No softwareCheersDileep Kumar.G

yes
Developers can do testing if they know both black box testing and White box testing.
But developers dont do testing'
Because the developers view will be check how the application is working.
As they cant test exhaustively from all the aspects of the testing techniques.
Because testing is intention of find the bugs form all the corner/edges of the application from end to end testing.

It is wrong to say "Developers don't test" . If they do not test then they are not developers . Unit testing is inherent part of software and infact the unit tests should be written before the code itself.
