Is it possible to combine a developer and a tester in one person?
Situation: A small company is developing its own project. 2 full-time developers, each is engaged in his own part of this project (1st - back office with cabinets, 2nd - website).
By complexity: Backoffice is about as complex as an average CRM system. Site - a regular site on Yii2 with a simple client cabinet (filling in your profile data). Requirements and wishes change frequently, automated testing and TTD are considered very expensive for us in terms of labor costs.
Primary testing is carried out by the developers themselves, then a third-party person is involved (NON-professional tester, but we will call him that). It is believed that the code from the programmer should be close to the release one, with minimal bugs, but in fact there are quite a lot of bugs.
Questions:
1) What is the normal number of bugs in the version that is submitted to the tester? How to define the boundary, what bugs should be found and fixed by the developer himself?
2) Can a developer independently test his project to the release state in order to get rid of the tester altogether? What are the arguments for? What are the arguments against?

The number of bugs that the developer knows about should be 0. And those that the tester finds - this already depends on a bunch of factors. There is no such thing as a normal quantity.

How to determine the limit, how many times do you need to change the specification?)))
> Can a developer independently test his project to the release state in order to get rid of the tester altogether?
No. First, because his gaze is blurred. Secondly, because the price of an hour of a programmer's work is higher than that of a tester.
This is the same as putting a surgeon at reception.
