    Manage Build Tests

    • Remove or add sections of the build verification tests that measure the functionality necessary to deem the build self-test and not self-toast.

    • Monitor the iteration tests to understand progress within the iteration.
    • Post iteration test results.

    Monitor Build Health

    • Monitor the health of the build by examining the build details report.
    • Fix builds that do not compile or pass build verification tests. Make healthy builds available to the business analysts for exploratory testing.
    • Look for an increase in build time. If the build time becomes too long, rework dependencies.
    • Make sure notifications are sent and the list of interested parties is up-to-date.

    Exit Criteria

    The build runs optimally.
