About this template
The OKR aims to enhance the efficiency of the Continuous Integration (CI) process. It specifically targets complete compliance with CI pipeline practices and standards through regular monitoring, auditing, automated checks, comprehensive reviews, and training.
The OKR calls for a 15% reduction in the average CI build time. This will be achieved by implementing caching mechanisms, upgrading hardware infrastructure, optimizing build scripts, and eliminating redundant steps in the build process.
The objective also underscores a 20% reduction in CI build failures through automated validation. Initiatives for the same include incorporating smoke test suites, regular updates to test cases, creation of thorough unit and integration tests, and application of static code analysis tools.
Lastly, the OKR indicates a 10% increase in CI build test coverage, but does not specify any initiatives.
