B2G/QA/Automation/UI/Strategy/Document End to end Automation

Objective

Document what we do so that we can onboard community more easily and so that our process and work is transparent.

Challenges Addressed

• Automation systems and concerns are poorly documented

The Problem

We don't have enough visibility in what we do and why we do it. There is frequent misunderstanding of our processes, scope, and purpose. And onboarding community is difficult because we don't have hard documentation to point at.

The Solution

Document all the things.

Timeline

Q2:

• Update process/ownership diagram of build to results with Gaia Acceptance.

Risks

We need to be careful to only document at a level of detail we can afford to maintain.
