Monitoring and optimizing CI/CD pipelines is crucial to minimize pipeline slowdowns and better respond to CI issues. Fostering collaboration between platform and development teams is equally valuable, as it helps create best practices for minimizing flaky tests, test failures, and performance regressions. Platform teams can help developers visualize trends in CI test performance with dashboards and monitors, enabling them to identify, investigate, and remediate flaky tests more effectively. By providing shared visibility into tests and CI pipelines, platform and development teams can collaborate to troubleshoot and resolve issues, ultimately building the foundation for performant and high-quality testing throughout the development lifecycle. Tools like Datadog can help democratize software testing data, enabling developers to identify and respond to flaky tests more efficiently, while also tracking long-term trends and reducing their future impact on CI pipelines.
