When working with Toxic substances (e.g. Production without QA), i suggest that the development group take some time and read some of the QA literature, so they can write better self-tests.

I have to say, i write a fair amount of code, and write my own self-tests, but i have found that a seperate QA person finds more bugs, because they do not have a suspicion of where they may hide. But, when i noticed this trend, i took the time to trudge through Code Complete, which, dispite it's age, was pretty good. Since this, i have started looking to Other QA books, and i think that most developer's, especially the ones without QA, should take the time to read at minimum some sort of online QA test info.
