Abstract
GitHub isn’t just for code. As an NHS programmer I use it every day, but did you know you can also use it to manage quality assurance processes? In this talk, I’ll show how our team has made QA practical, reproducible, and part of everyday work, using tools you probably already have open.
We manage QA through GitHub issues and projects, creating a visible, auditable record of checks that sit alongside our code. Release checklist templates help us document, review, and repeat our steps consistently, turning QA from a one-off exercise into a routine habit rather than an afterthought.
All the workflows and templates I’ll show are openly available, so you can adapt and build on them for your own team. By doing QA “where the work happens,” we’ve reduced the overhead of quality assurance while increasing transparency, reproducibility, and confidence in our outputs.
