Flaky Tests: CODEOWNERS Support

Flaky Tests

We’re thrilled to announce support for CODEOWNERS in our Flaky Tests product, which is available for both GitHub and GitLab repositories. With this integration, we now process your CODEOWNERS file to identify and annotate ownership for tests automatically. This unlocks powerful capabilities for test ownership and management, including:

Test Details View: Instantly see who owns each test right from the test details page.

Webhook Integration: Retrieve ownership information in your webhooks for automated workflows.

Why It Matters

CODEOWNERS is a key tool for maintaining code ownership within repositories. With this new integration, you can:

Notify Owners: Automatically inform test owners in messaging applications like Slack or Teams when their tests exhibit flakiness.
Streamline Workflows: Assign flakiness issues directly to owners using project management tools like Jira or Linear.

How to Get Started

It’s simple! Place your CODEOWNERS file in one of the standard locations supported by your Git provider and follow their conventions: GitHub and GitLab.

Here’s an example CODEOWNERS file:

1# In this example, @agraebe owns any file in the `/tests` directory  
2
3# at the root of your repository and its subdirectories.  
4
5/tests/ @agraebe
