If it’s a complex task and you’re not quite sure the best way to do it then contact the Head of Development to discuss.
TASK LOGGING
If subtasks are needed for more complex things that you want to track, you can create subtasks within tasks to monitor that.

When you are finished with the task, do the following steps:
- You’ll need to use our cross device/browser testing tool to test webpage/element/functionality that you just created in the task on the various devices. Make sure that when checking mobile and tablet you check both landscape and horizontal modes.
- If there are any issues, fix the issue and then check it again to ensure that it’s perfect on all devices.
After you’ve checked and it’s passed the test, move the task to stage QC

Developer QC Protocol:
Once Projects go into Dev QC then it’s time to QC the website finally.
TASK LOGGING
Inside the project, click on ‘QC Checklist’ – all TASKS are in ‘NEW’ – Go through each and move it to Stage: DEV PASS, once you’ve checked them.
Once you’ve moved all TASKS to Stage: DEV PASS, then move entire Project to QC Stage.
IMPORTANT – if this is your second time in Dev QC Stage, then the QC failed the first time, the failed tasks will be in Stage: ‘FAILED’ and you’ll need to fix them and move them back into Stage: DEV PASS
Once you’ve moved all TASKS to Stage: DEV PASS, then move entire Project to QC Stage.
