To synchronize tests between developers and QA, it is important to establish common standards and processes:
- Use a unified version control system where tests are stored alongside the code.
- Regular meetings or synchronization to discuss coverage and new scenarios.
- Automate test execution in CI/CD so everyone can see the results.
- Divide responsibilities: developers write unit and integration tests at the code level, QA — functional, end-to-end, and load tests.
The percentage of tests on the service depends on the project, but a good practice is to have at least 70-80% coverage with unit and integration tests, with QA supplementing with scenarios that are difficult to cover with code.
Example: if the service is responsible for processing chess moves, developers write tests for the correctness of move logic, and QA — scenarios with real games, checking UI and user interaction.
