Sounds like you did a thorough job as a QA tester. As a software engineer, I love to see it.
By the time the app was due to go live, we'd only reported bugs with the signup and login flows. This was misinterpreted as there only being issues with the signup and login flows, and the app launched on time. In reality, it was impossible to get past the login screen.
And then let me guess... Of course the QA testers get the blame, when in reality it's either management or marketing that wanted to pushe the app out.
Blaming us would be too close to root-cause analysis for them even to consider. We weren't normally QA testers, but they'd left it until too late to hire internal QA, so roped in the developers (us) from a SaaS vendor their app replied on as emergency QA.
