Testers find issues and need developers to see them quickly with enough detail to reproduce. When bugs are reported in passing in chat, they are forgotten, and test plans drift out of date in someone's folder.
How qA and testing teams set up Tandem App
- Use #qa-reports for incoming findings and turn each confirmed one into a task with steps to reproduce and a screenshot attached.
- Create a task per release test run with a checklist of test cases, ticked off as they pass.
- Keep test plans and regression suites in Docs, with comments when cases change.
- Search with has:file and in:#qa-reports to find the evidence for an old issue.
Clients and outside people
A client's acceptance tester can join a #uat channel as a Full access guest during user acceptance testing, with an end date when sign-off is due.
