Business Goal

Build tooling for transient issues and outline process to sustainable prevent transient issues early on.

Transient bugs have become our focus in FY21Q4 OKRs. We have multiple cross-functional efforts and KRs in both Development and Quality and want to shore-up the momentum on addressing these issues earlier with the appropriate tooling and process in place.

Exit Criteria (100% progress)

  1. Reword Engineering FY21Q4 OKRs to reflect proactive mitigation of transient issues. => 100%
  2. Build transient developer tooling to help reproduce transient bugs locally. => 100%
  3. Build transient test pipeline to help detect transient bugs (GDK,CI,Test flaky reports). => 100%, completed
  4. Identify top 3 product groups where fixing transient bugs can help increase GMAU. => 100%, analysis done, need to add to handbook
  5. Update our documentation on architectural patterns that can prevent transient bugs. => 100%
  6. Incorporate transient bugs into existing triage process and prioritization. => 100%, have minimal prioritization, working on triage automation
  7. Build a measurement to increase visibility of transient bugs. => 100%, there is now a transient bug dashboard in Sisense
