Distracted Boyfriend" meme format and its software development-themed labels:
A popular meme known as 'Distracted Boyfriend' showing three people on a street: a man in a blue shirt looking back at a woman in a red dress while walking with another woman in light blue. The image has text labels: The woman in red is labeled 'UNIT TEST', the distracted boyfriend is labeled 'DEVELOPERS: THAT'S MY JOB', and his girlfriend is labeled 'QAs: ACTUALLY, WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER!'. The meme depicts developers being distracted by unit testing while QA tries to remind them it's a shared responsibility.

Have you ever felt like unit testing is mainly a developer task? Well, a recent study shows that we—the testing professionals—have a much bigger role to play in those early testing stages!
