Human interaction in the middle of build chain?

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi!

At our company the build process has it's QA phase done by humans, not by autmatic means.

This is how it cuts the otherwise automatic process in half:

- When a build has been build QA team gets the email notifications from FB

- If there are paralell builds QA makes decision about what to test per current managerial notifications

- QA does testing

- QA lead comes to me telling the result

- When build passed QA, I manually start the deployment part

- When build failed QA I wait until the blockers/criticals get fixed then restart the whole process.

 

I am looking for better ways how can I eliminate my presence from the middle.

Hi Ákos

This exact scenario came up here recently while working up use cases for the next version of FinalBuilder Server. The good news is the design for it will support what you want to do. The bad news is the current version does not explicitly support doing this.
