Better QA on PRs

Opened this issue · 1 comments

From @mariajgrimaldi (core contributor sprint retro 2023-02-04 - 2023-02-18):

I merged a PR last week (openedx/edx-platform#30975), which added a dropdown for organizations in studio. I tried testing the feature thoroughly, but it still caused some issues for instructors on edx.org. The error happened when turning on the feature flag: SPLIT_LIBRARY_ON_DASHBOARD, which we missed completely, since that flag is turned off by default and unittests didn't catch it. Anyway, I wonder if we could've caught that earlier or our QA could've been better. I'll keep this in mind for future contributions.

This topic has come up a few times in the past, it's hard to test for all potential issues before it gets deployed on edx.org.

Sorry, this is from an old/previous report - I set the dates to 2023 instead of 2024 ;p

Though we could still bring this up again - moving it to the backlog for now though.
