If it runs in CI, ReleaseQA can ingest it. This guide outlines the minimal GitHub Actions setup for sending test results and artifacts.

Prerequisites

  • A ReleaseQA project and API key
  • A CI job that produces test artifacts (JUnit, JSON, or similar)
  • Consistent naming for suites and environments

Workflow outline

  • Run tests
  • Collect artifacts
  • Publish results to ReleaseQA
  • Link runs to commit SHA and branch

Common pitfalls

  • Missing artifacts (tests pass but nothing is uploaded)
  • Inconsistent suite names that split trends
  • Flaky retries that overwrite the original failure signal

Tips for scale

  • Use caching
  • Split suites for speed
  • Publish a summary comment on PRs
  • Keep artifacts easy to audit
