[DL.CI.4] Provide consistent, actionable feedback to developers
Category: FOUNDATIONAL
To identify and address issues as quickly as possible, it's important that developers receive consistent and actionable feedback, regardless of the technologies and tools being used. This consistency streamlines the process of addressing failures across diverse development environments, contributing to more efficient DevOps practices. Implement this by configuring your CI pipeline to send automatic failure notifications, offering clear, actionable resolution guidance.
Any failures in the process should send feedback to the developer automatically, describing the failure clearly with actionable guidance for resolution. Feedback mechanisms should be tailored to fit within tools already used by developers, such as IDEs, chat clients, or email, reducing the learning curve and aiding early problem detection.
