Imagine you’re part of a development team working on a monorepo shared with other engineers. Builds take a long time, and often fail due to flaky tests, some of which belong to different teams, or worse yet, don’t have clear owners. Rather than spending time and money shipping code that improves the product, developers are spending time rerunning flaky tests, trying to understand if they’re needed in the first place, and tracking down who owns them to try and get them fixed.

 

The engineering team at Betterment needed to reduce the friction caused by their continuous integration process, improve their test success rate, and reduce build times. Join this session and learn how they used Datadog CI Visibility and a data-driven approach to drive cultural and organizational change, using tools like automation, regression protection, and quality ratchets to improve collaboration between teams while bringing test success rates to 95% and significantly decreasing build times.
