Streamline Code Quality and Reliability with Precision
Accurate Failure Detection for Continuous Improvement
- Commits-based failure analysis: Automatically identify commits related to bug fixes by searching for specific keywords, such as "fix," within all merged pull requests, offering a clear view of your code's stability over time.
- Customizable keyword tracking: Tailor the metric to reflect your team's naming conventions, ensuring every relevant fix-commit is accounted for in your CFR calculation.
- DORA metrics benchmarking: Compare your team's CFR against DORA metrics benchmarks to categorize your performance from elite (0% to 15% CFR) to low performers (above 45% CFR), guiding strategic improvements.
Proactive Strategies for Reducing Change Failures
Implement these best practices to maintain an elite CFR:
- Integrate code quality tools: Employ linters and automated code analysis tools to enable developers to preemptively address styling issues and potential bugs.
- Automate end-to-end testing: Incorporate comprehensive automated testing to catch and fix errors before they affect your production environment.
- Meticulous documentation: Keep detailed records of test edge cases, unstable flows, and incidents to inform future development and testing strategies.
- Replicate production environments for testing: Ensure your testing environments closely mirror production settings to accurately detect potential failures.
