QA Forum Introduction¶
As we continue to grow and tackle more complex features, it's essential to integrate quality into every step of our development process.
To do this effectively, we start a QA forum that will allow us to :
* Testing Strategies: Discuss different testing strategies (unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end, etc.) and when/how to use them effectively.
* Code Reviews and Case Studies: Present real-world bugs, regressions, or test case studies. Discuss how they were caught (or missed) and what could be improved.
* Automation Best Practices: Explore best practices for automating smoke tests, regression tests, and performance tests.
* Quality Tools: Introduce tools that help with code quality, such as postman, static code analyzers, or CI pipelines that incorporate automated testing.
* Shift-left Testing: Helping developers about incorporating testing earlier in the development cycle, like test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD).
* Non-functional Testing: Encourage discussions on security testing, load testing, and usability testing to ensure quality from all angles.
This will not only help reduce bugs in production but also improve how we collaborate as a team. It will be a lightweight, interactive space where we can have bi-weekly discussions, share best practices, and ensure quality becomes part of our daily work.
