Kick-off Meeting part 2

Review project scope for testing platform. 

• Some BB leads will write OpenAPI specs but some will not be able to do that.

SolDevelo share their initial questions after a few days of onboarding.

• All the questions are here Q&A , we already have some answers but still looking for all of them.

Point out main SolDevelo tasks and responsibilities (testing platform + others).

• Implementing Cucumber Tests, Mocks, and Continuous Integration

  • Helping with translating API to OpenAPI

  • Work with Testing team and BB leads to write Cucumber tests and feature files

  • Develop mock implementations of the APIs to be tested

  • Write Dockerfiles and necessary tooling to run tests on CircleCI automatically on every update

  • Note: some BBs have technical capacity, some need developer support

• Frontend Development

  • Develop a frontend platform that allows users to select a building block, run tests against a product, and generate a report that shows which tests are passing/failing

• Scrum and Backlog Management

  • Work with BB leads to identify APIs to be tested, write tasks in backlog, manage priorities and set up sprints for each BB as well as testing team (work with Steve and Esther)
