A couple of questions on the JEP workflow.
1) Before "Integrated" could we add a "Validated" state?
It is probably already assumed that prior to Integrated, that a JEP's owner is
required to have the code pass unit tests as well as system tests.
Would there be value in calling out a separate state here, such as "Validated"?
This could be of help in ensuring that unit tests are ready and pass
before code gets integrated. It might also be of extra help for folks who need
assistance in running any system tests.
2) Funded
Could you possibly add performance testing to the funded detail list? I know
the current statement is not intended to be exhaustive, but it might be helpful
to explicitly add performance.
thanks,
Karen
