I suspect that many of us who find ourselves in this position
are working in environments where there may not *be*
"Eng-Test and QA and integration support people" who are
separate entities from whatever team the writers report to.
When I was an engineer in a big aerospace company with
Test, QA and Systems Integration groups, we engineers and
the few writer/editors who supported us seldom knew much
more about the "overall product" than our particular part
and how it interacted with its next highest level assembly;
in the 30-person company I currently work for, "test, QA
and integration support" are performed by a team of...
30 people.
