Ask HN: What does your change/pull request approval process look like?
In my company there are projects where the PR would first go through code review and then QA where there is more available developer time to do reviews than QA engineer's to QA. And then there are projects where the developer time is optimized (because it is scarcer) so the PR changes would be first manually tested by a QA and then code reviewed.
Then there are projects where availabilities of both are somewhat equal and we sometimes end up cycling a few times through: 1. PR opened 2. code reviewed 3. address code review comments 4. follow-up code review accepted changes 5. QA found issues 6. issues addressed 7. GOTO #2
I would like to try and optimize this so I'm curious what this process looks like for you and if you ever had similar issues and how did you fix them?
