The rapid adoption of remote and hybrid work models in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to communication and coordination within software development teams, affecting how various activities are executed. Nowadays, these changes are shaping the new post-pandemic environments and continue to impact software teams. In this context, our study explores the characteristics and challenges of remote communication between software developers and software testers. We investigated how these professionals have adapted to the unique circumstances imposed by COVID-19, especially because many of them have now become permanent in the software industry. In this process, we explored their communication practices and interaction dynamics and how they potentially affect software evolution and quality. Our findings reveal that the transition to remote and hybrid work has resulted in notable changes in communication patterns and task coordination, which could potentially affect the overall quality of project deliverables. Additionally, we highlight the importance of adapting existing workflows, introducing new management practices, and investing in technology to facilitate remote interaction among developers and testers.
