SUCCESS the build completed successfully or was skipped
ACTION_REQUIRED the build requires a manual action from the user

Reporting Use Cases

The Build Status field is critical for monitoring the health of your CI/CD pipeline and enforcing quality standards. As a text field with a fixed set of values, it is ideal for filtering, creating compliance metrics, and analyzing the stability of your codebase.

Filtering and Triage: You can quickly identify pull requests that require immediate attention based on their build outcome.
- Identify Broken Builds: Create a high-priority list of open pull requests that need to be fixed by using a filter like Build Status = "FAILURE".
- Compliance Audits: You can audit your merge practices by creating a report of all merged pull requests that had a failing build at the time of merge. This is done by filtering where State = "MERGED" and Build Status = "FAILURE".
- Find Ready-to-Merge PRs: Combine with other fields to find pull requests that are approved and have a successful build, and are therefore ready to be merged: Build Status = "SUCCESS" and Review State = "APPROVED".
Reporting and Trend Analysis: Using Build Status as a dimension allows you to visualize the health of your CI/CD pipeline over time.
- Build Outcome Distribution: A pie chart with Build Status as the dimension and COUNT() as the metric can show you the proportion of successful, failed, and in-progress builds across all your pull requests.
- Failure Rate Over Time: Track the stability of your codebase with a line chart that uses a time-based dimension (e.g., YEAR_MONTH(created_at)) and a metric that counts only the failures: COUNT_IF(build_status == "FAILURE"). A rising trend could indicate a growing problem with technical debt or testing.
Custom Formulas and KPIs: You can create powerful key performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of your testing and integration processes.
- Green Build Ratio: One of the most important metrics you can build is the percentage of pull requests that are merged with a successful build. This can be calculated with a custom formula like: ROUND(COUNT_IF(build_status == "SUCCESS") / COUNT() * 100, 2).
