You're not considering the time it takes to manually test.
* How much time does it take to do a clean build?
* How much time does it take to do a deploy?
* How much time does it take to reproduce the issue manually?
Add those together and multiply them by the number of commits bisect makes you check. It can add up.
- umanwizard 12y agoAbsolutely, and I'm not claiming that bisect is useful for debugging every regression. But it's saved me a LOT of time on a number of occasions, and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand just because it relies on manual testing. Even if going through 6 or 7 bisect revisions takes a few hours, it can sometimes be completely worth it.
