User testing

User testing is done by our QA team. It is either deployment or release based. For bigger projects, dedicated testers can be assigned.

When you want your work on a task to be user tested, create a deployment, change the task status to testing and assign the task to the QA team.

A deployment is a standalone, isolated application in the Easy8 dev cloud: a client application with a copy of the trial database and your source code.

On every task, in the more menu, there is a "New Deployment" button. It opens a modal window with a form:

1. URL is pre-filled with the ID of the current task
2. Repository is, by default, devel. You can change it
3. Branch: enter your feature branch name without the origin/ prefix
4. Host name is the database source. The default, mother.easy8.com, fits most cases
