QA Regression Tracker
Stop shipping the same bugs twice.
What changes when you build this
The gaps you're living with today,
and what this tool fixes.
Problems
- Test failures surface in CI output that 2-3 people check; the rest of the team finds out when customers report the bug
- The same regression reappears across 4+ releases because nobody tracks whether the fix actually held
- On-call engineers spend 30+ minutes per incident figuring out which deploy introduced the breakage
- QA leads maintain a spreadsheet of known regressions that goes stale within days
- Postmortems reveal the regression was caught by a test that someone marked "flaky" and ignored
Solutions
- Every test failure is logged with its service, severity, and triggering commit — visible to the entire team in one grid
- Regressions are linked to the release that introduced them and tracked until the fix ships and holds for 2+ cycles
- Deploy-to-failure mapping is automatic, so on-call knows which release broke what without digging through logs
- A live dashboard replaces the spreadsheet, with filters by service, owner, and status updated in real time
- Flaky tests get their own status and review workflow instead of being silently skipped

Mistakes to avoid
These are the failure patterns teams hit most often
when building this.
Flaky tests hide real regressionsFix: Give flaky tests a dedicated status with a review cadence — never let them auto-skip without periodic revalidation.

No link between failure and releaseFix: Join regression records to the deployment table on commit SHA so every failure traces back to a specific release.

Ownership defaults to nobodyFix: Auto-assign regressions to the service owner from your service catalog; require reassignment before status can change.

Stale regressions sit open for weeksFix: Flag regressions untouched for 5+ days and escalate criticals that pass 48 hours without an owner update.

Fix:Flag regressions untouched for 5+ days and escalate criticals that pass 48 hours without an owner update.
Test results buried in CI logsFix: Pipe test output into a structured table on every run so failures are queryable, not just scrollable.
