Given production and beta cluster environments sometimes vary, the web team creates deployment verification tasks during it's sprints to verify fixes in a production environment.

An example is phab:T386125.

Task creation

Tasks are manually created as part of the sign off of verification tickets. They are created as follows.

1. We open the task being signed off in edit mode.
2. We create a new phabricator task in a new tab
3. Copy the text and title from the signed-off task into the new phabricator task
4. For the new task:
   1. Update the release number in the title and the header
   2. Update the link to the previous verification task
   3. Update the deployment blockers task by visiting the task and clicking the "next" button at the bottom.
   4. Update the query by opening the existing query and changing the search parameters to point to the new release tag. Make sure to set "In any". Hit search and replace the link.
   5. Copy the table headers but not its rows - this will be filled in after
   6. Save task.
5. Update the header of the old task to point to the newly created task (replacing TBC in the phabricator URL).
6. Set story points of task to "2" and priority "Medium".
7. Move new tasks to sprint backlog column.
