One thing I believe that helps without much bureaucracy is having the QA as part of the team itself.
Frequently we see a QA Team that is responsible to test code from other Dev Teams.
What I really like is a cross-functional team that includes a QA inside it. This improves communication, ownership, empathy and avoid "passing the baton".
I'm a quality hero, customer champion. Experienced software tester and newbie developer.
Okay, so I've actually been dabbling in code for a long time. I've just not gone very deep in any language .
indeed, this is generally the way I've worked for a number of years. It still has not stopped me having to spend a fair amount of time dealing with the underlying causes of "Works on my machine". But it has meant a more friendly and collaborative partnership with the Dev's while I do it.
For all but the most basic websites, environment/platform are mostly non-trivial and can easily throw up the unexpected difference from running locally or in a Dev env vs "Test/UAT/Prod". And I've used docker extensively, it just means the discrepancy is hidden in some .yaml configuration :)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
