Essentially our team is dealing with a challenge where every release we are cherry picking fixes to go to the next release environment, and I would love help.
Let’s say we have 4 tickets A, B, C, D
And we have 3 environments:
Dev, QA, master (release branch)
Right now we deal with the challenge of:
All tickets are done dev work and they move to QA,
In QA ticket A, C, D pass but B is reopened (because some portion of it didn’t work) and it is now time for a release, so we must cherry pick fixes A, C, D to push to master. But turns out fix D was reliant on fix B. So we go back and add the dependency B had for D.
This is simple enough with 4 tickets but we have dozens and are stuck cherry picking and smoke testing all day, and naturally we miss a fix, and have to go back to do some more cherry picking to make sure the dependencies are also in.
has anyone dealt with this problem or have a solution?
