QA Updates

  • in-testsuite? 34 bugs without a test and with the ? flag set.
  • in-testsuite not used enough?
    • what are the criteria?
    • when is the right time to ask, and who asks?
      • Short answer is that dev knows wand we should ask them. For backend code it’s easier than when the UI is involved. Reviewer should keep an eye on it and set the flag when appropriate.
      • _Tsk_ to figure out a UnitTest workshop
      • How do we keep track on unit tests and make sure that their number goes up ?
  • Bug day

Marketing Updates
