Unifying and Improving Test Regression Reporting and Tracking in Kernel CI Systems

Explore the challenges and potential solutions for unifying and enhancing test regression reporting and tracking in kernel development. Delve into the limitations of current CI systems for kernel testing, which offer basic regression detection capabilities but lack standardization. Examine the possibility of post-processing data from various CI systems to extract hidden information, analyze failure trends, and understand the impact of test infrastructure on failures. Learn about the role of Regzbot in creating a standard workflow for regression tracking and the difficulties in reporting CI system regressions due to high volume, low relevance, and false positives. Gain insights into ongoing efforts and strategies for improving the testing ecosystem, and participate in a discussion about future plans and potential contributions to enhance regression reporting and tracking in kernel development.
