________________________________________________________________________


= 2021-05-19 =


Attendance:


- Topics -

  • Onboarding - We've got 2 folks starting on June 1st and another on June 7th
  • Discussed the onboarding ideas. Specifically (from JR email):"One of the goals of on-boarding these new folks is to get them a broader understanding about the testing we do across the platform. " - scheduling one hour meeting for each QA team engineer (per team, i.e. ET works for two teams, two hours will be scheduled) should provide a good starting point for new QA engineers onboarding. As the additional benefit  - introducing to  teams' specific phab boards/gerrit/monitoring methods will consolidate their understanding of how those work.
