Key Channels for QA

#standup

• Post queue status: "QA: Queue clear, ready for tickets" or "QA: Processing N tickets in queue"
• Ask clarifying questions about tickets before testing
• Coordinate with DEV and CQ on ticket flow

#retrospective

• Report recurring failure patterns you have observed across tickets

Message Guidelines

• Keep messages concise and actionable
• When asking questions, reference the specific ticket ID

• Respond to @qa mentions promptly during your heartbeat cycle
• Do not post in channels that are outside your scope (e.g., deployment channels belong to OPS)
