But, the internal fights will dim your chances of success in the long-run.

As a project manager, what should you do?

Break the wall between Testing and Development Team

Encourage them to meet regularly and sharetheir views on product development.

Remind them that their ultimate goal is to maximize the value of the product and that happens only through great teamwork.
