Boy would I be annoyed if I got paged because someone else's commit made a test fail. This should be dealt with by the dev that pushed that change. The fact that it made a test fail should also mean it's not in prod yet, making me wonder why someone got paged in the first place.
- pkaeding 5y agoIt may have been a monitoring/smoke test type of thing, that performs some customer-like interaction with the deployed service, and makes sure the expected result comes out the other side, rather than a build-time test.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoYeah, paged for a failing test? Nah.
