Launchable’s Test Notifications for Slack Closes The Communication Gap
Launchable’s improved how your developers receive essential information in your workspace.
Key Takeaways
Launchable is helping developers get started triaging without checking their email or CI over and over.
Get test run notifications directly in Slack - create subscriptions to receive personal notifications about test sessions run against your branches/pull requests or other test sessions they care about.
We created Launchable to shorten test suite run-times to test more often—find issues earlier, and provide faster feedback to developers. In June, we announced starting a Test Notifications beta program, making Launchable even more dev-focused with test alerts integrated into Slack.
Today, we officially invite you to participate: Get a Launchable Test Notifications beta invite.
Start sending personal notifications about test runs directly via Slack through seamless integration with Launchable. The answer to simple questions like “Did the run pass?” is behind too many clicks or in emails, and status is usually ascertained via a “pull” mode. Help developers get started triaging without checking their email over and over.
Now developers will immediately be notified of which tests fail without going through CI or emails.
When test sessions finish, you can immediately take action on the results, whether triaging failures or merging a PR. In addition, developers can create subscriptions to receive personal notifications about test sessions run against their branches/pull requests or other test sessions they care about.
Once you've set up a subscription, the Launchable app will send you a personal message each time a new test session matching the subscription criteria is recorded. Failing notifications include a link to view test results in Launchable and a quick summary of failing tests.
