<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Because developers are notoriously bad at performing QA on their own work. When I write code I know exactly how to use it so it doesn't screw up. But in general I'm not going to be the one using it, so it is important to have a third party do the testing. Bug tracking systems usually allow developers to flag bugs as "fixed" which are then picked up by QA and tested. QA then can either close the bug or send it back to the developer. In this case it was probably something very minor and doesn't really need extensive testing, but it still needs to go through the standard fix->test->release procedure.
