| 50 min | Expectations for Testing items | Anton | Create a unified list of expectations relative to testing items that should be part of Definition of Done (note Anton Emelianov (Deactivated)is preparing a recommendation to be reviewed on 2021-03-31) Anton presented a slide deck. Our current process is that development is done in a scratch environment; Story acceptance is done within a reference environment; manual testing is done within the bugfest testing. This results in 1 regression run every 3-4 months. Proposed process: Manual test cases get created along with the story, with manual testing done on the scratch environment. Backend and front end unit tests, and karate/postman tests, UI Smoke Test, Cover Test Debt TCs with Automation will all be done within the scratch environment. These things will be done prior to merging a PR. After the merger of the PR, within the reference environment, performance test, automated UI smoke test, karate and postman regression suites will be run. Within bugfest additional manual testing and bug fixes will take place. TC discussed the proposal: Craig asked if the code smell, bugs and vulnerabilities should be considered in the DoD. Zack preferred that these be surfaced as warnings and not a blocker for merging PRs. MarkD asked what we are trying to accomplish through the use of automated tools. Anton says we are trying to establish consistency in the project's coding culture. Anton clarified his suggestion that manual testing is done via QAs during the initial development phase. Product owners are currently doing much of this QA work. We decide to continue the discussion in our next meeting. Zack proposes we timebox the discussion. |
