• Integrate automated regression and sanity tests into pipelines.
• Collaboration
• Work closely with development teams to streamline workflows and resolve integration issues.
• Support cross-functional teams for debugging build and deployment failures.
• Monitoring & Reporting
• Develop dashboards and alerts for build health and performance metrics.
• Provide detailed reports for CI stability and release readiness.
• Failure Analysis & Resolution
• Triage test failures and build failures across CI/CD pipelines.
• Perform root cause analysis for integration issues, build breaks, and test regressions.
• Collaborate with development teams to fix failures or provide actionable recommendations.
• Maintain a failure tracking system and ensure timely resolution to keep CI pipelines green.
• Implement preventive measures (e.g., automated checks, pre-merge validations) to reduce recurrence.
