Fix your builds, the easy way!
Charles Miller, Confluence Architect talks about ConfluenceJuly 17, 2007
Like the JIRA team, the Confluence team has a screen set up in the corner of the office so we can all keep an eye on the health of our Bamboo builds.
Unfortunately we broke a lot of tests the other week, after a few major dependency updates. Since then we've been having a nightmare of a time getting all of the builds to stay green. Lateral thinking to the rescue!

The motivation for this is possibly the fact that the Confluence team never have a full green screen (mostly not even half) and the JIRA team like to point that out - loudly - whenever they go past. Confluence is located near the door/kitchen/toilets, so we go past a lot :-)

The main culprit right now seems to be the builds that randomly perform tests on different cluster nodes. The clustered JIRA tests never fail, do they. Oh, what you mean you don't have any? :)

Nice idea. I'll have to persuade my boss to get our team one extra screen for that purpose.
Off topic: You got a really nice looking office there. Are you trying to make us all envy with those Mac Pro boxes laying around :)

Nope, but we've now got Selenium tests that fail regularly testing all of the ajaxy behaviour in JIRA. Oh wait? Confluence doesn't have any of those either?! ;)
PS: I'm not quite sure what this pissing contest is meant to achieve, but it sure is fun :).
