"Foresight gives you an overview of your workflows"

We have always kept our main (trunk) branch release-ready, but due to unstable and flaky test that is not always easy. GitHub Actions is an excellent tool for testing purposes, but it is not easy to get a quick glance at the overall healthiness of your tests. Foresight on the other hand gives you an overview of your workflows across all individual runs, and we believe this will be a valuable tool to help us keep our tests healthy.

"I highly recommend it to the community."

We heavily use GitHub Actions for our CI/CD pipeline. We have many repos including several mono repositories. Foresight helped us to monitor all the workflows, runs and test results from one single place, to improve the pipeline by the alerts, and to save a lot of time. I highly recommend it to the community.

"Foresight helped visualizing the hotspots and prioritize the tests that needs to be optimized first"

Testcontainers' own test suite is massive, because nothing is worse than an unstable testing tool. We always knew that there are opportunities to reduce its execution time by optimizing some of these tests, but Foresight helped visualizing the hotspots and prioritize the tests that needs to be optimized first. With this kick in the... err... build, we are ready to stop procrastinating and start optimizing!

The Challenge

Software teams aim to release as fast as possible but there are various reasons that hamper velocity. Slow builds, failing and flaky tests, and clogged CI pipelines end up with slow release cycles. As a result, productivity falters, costs increase, and end users might be impacted.

Debugging problematic tests slows down the software-releasing process

Without quickly debugging test failures, detecting flaky and slow tests, and identifying trends, so much time is wasted with old school testing practices.

Monitoring GitHub Actions CI workflows is lacking in native and 3rd party tooling

Delivering reliable, and robust software safely at a fast pace is pretty hard when you don't have enough visibility on your CI pipelines and don't know where to focus to troubleshoot problems rapidly.

Understanding untested code changes in every PR is grueling

It's difficult for code reviewers to know the impact of the PR in production. They want to know and focus on the parts of a code change that matter most to their users.

Identifying slow, flaky, and erroneous tests to optimize CI pipelines is difficult

Developers can't focus on business logic. Waiting for long CI and testing queues, and being blocked for stability, uptime, and error reduction decreases developers' productivity.

The Solution

Foresight lets you monitor your GitHub Actions workflows, tests, and untested code changes on a single dashboard. It visualizes your running and completed GitHub Actions workflows by status, duration, and cost.

Monitor Github Actions workflows with CI metrics dashboard

Foresight provides actionable insights to optimize the performance of your workflows with its rich Grafana-like dashboard. Monitor resource usage metrics, understand workflow costs, duration, success & failure rates, jobs with the high failure rates, and more with Foresight.

Identify slow, flaky, and erroneous tests

Long-running test suites and frequent failing tests are the most common reason for slowing down build times and hence reducing deployment frequency. Foresight provides visibility into test runs, enabling teams to quickly debug test failures, detect flaky tests, identify slow tests, and visualize performance over time to identify trends. Foresight integrates with APM tools like Thundra to provide end-to-end traceability.

Uncover critical changes that no test has covered (Test gap analysis)

Foresight correlates the changes to the codebase with the test coverage reports to determine how much of the changes are covered by the tests, empowering teams with clear quality risk metrics to facilitate the right change management process. Pull requests can be automatically approved or passed through reviews depending on the quality risk to ensure only high-quality builds are moved to production.

Reduce testing cycle times and ship faster

Foresight tracks the code tested by each test and determines the tests that should be run to test the changes introduced to the codebase for each pull request. By prioritizing the subset of tests impacted by a pull request and the tests that are more likely to fail, Foresight can dramatically reduce the test cycle times without compromising quality.
