What’s inside?
Netflix shares observability metrics they captured to identify common problems with the local and CI tool experience. They also share how remote test execution reduced PR build times down from 50 to 5 min.
Summit Producer’s Highlight
Find out why the Netflix DevProd organization focuses on optimizing the local development loop and finding ways to minimize unproductive wait time. Points of discussion include:

  • Common problems with long local development loops
  • Improving self serviceability and the build performance and consistency experience
  • CI observability and insights using tools like Gradle Build Scan™
  • Pipeline acceleration using remote test execution with Gradle Enterprise Test Distribution
  • Flaky test detection and other avoidable failures using test and failure analytics
  • Using the Predictive Test Selection simulation capability to estimate test feedback cycle-time savings
