Purpose of Chat Integration
Oftentimes, apps get released with bugs that should have been caught by the development team. Avoid missteps such as "I didn't realize that additional edits were made" and "I thought that the bugs weren't universal, so I didn't notify anyone" that can lead to an app's demise.
Steps can be taken to prevent issues from occurring:
- Allow testers to be made aware of updates to apps under development
- Inform developers of app issues immediately
- Ease communications by using a common platform that all team members view regularly
For example, a message like this on Slack can allow all team members to be notified of an issue and take steps to correct the problem.
Using a chat tool, DeployGate can inform all members of an incident. Configure yours now.
