[Building Sakai] General Jira workflow question - ready for merge, no QA

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Normally that case would indicate the jira ticket needs to be tested
by another developer (perhaps only a code review of some kind) to make
sure that it is good to merge. Marking it as tested without at least a
code review is not a good idea because it could result in moving bugs
into a .x branch (depending on the merge settings).
When the developer/tester has verified it then they can mark it as Tested.

Maybe we should click Tested so that the issue will show as Verified, and be a signal that it is ready for merge to the branch managers, even though no testing was actually done? I would be inclined, at least until I get more familiar with things, to check with the Assignee (aka the developer) first, to make sure I'm making a correct assumption. Just trying to get my brain wrapped around the workflow.
