What are some custom tools you’ve built/seen internally that has helped your team succeed in automation? | Notion
<aside> 💡 Hola friends! We recently created a Discord for Software Automation where we discuss these kinds of topics on a bi-weekly basis.
This discussion focuses on custom tools and solutions developers have created to improve their testing, automation, and development processes. The examples shared demonstrate a wide range of innovative approaches to solving specific challenges in various contexts. Key themes include:
These custom solutions often address unique organizational needs or fill gaps in existing toolsets, showcasing the creativity and problem-solving skills of developers.
I made a glorified notification system called TestBeacon (I wish I called it TestBacon though) that would send a Slack message to a channel when a test was failing above a certain % in ALL Continuous-Integration builds.
This helped us tackle flaky tests as we'd get a stacktrace, failure %, and alert all at once which allowed the right person with right context to jump in and fix it all autonomously.
