This month, we released three new features on Build Insights to help reduce the time spend waiting around for builds to complete. From improving the build troubleshooting experience, to zooming in on build performance charts to a per build step chart of individual builds; our teams have been hard at work to help you release apps with (increasingly more) confidence.
Build time step breakdown
Improving the build troubleshooting experience
Diagnosing build issues can be time consuming. That’s why we’ve created the per-step breakdown of builds to help you find the root causes to a negative trend, so much faster. Using the per-step breakdown, you can now easily identify which step (or steps) caused the total build time to fluctuate, compare the step’s logs across builds and custom filter a selection of build graph views. Log in and give it a go.

*Currently in beta on Build Insight pro plans.
Click-to-zoom
Inspecting troublesome builds with zoom magnification
View suspect builds, or build areas of interest, with great magnification. How does it work? Simply drag over the area you want more build data on, view the zoomed in magnified dataset, and keep going until you’ve diagnosed the suspect build or bottleneck. Releasing this feature makes it easier to isolate and remove problems per workflow, helping to increase your team’s velocity. Build faster, today.

*Available on all Build Insights pro plans.
Per build step chart
Finding the point of influx - removing those build blockers
With the per build step chart, you can now view the status and duration of individual builds, as well as their constituent step performance. Simply zoom into your workflow performance, see your most recent builds for the selected time frame, and identify the step that is delaying builds and blocking your engineers. What’s more, when you hover over an individual step in the chart, the step causing the bottleneck will be highlighted in other builds it is effecting as well. Want to further refine your data? You can, by using the newly added filters to create subsets for analysis. Know what to prioritize, give it a go today.

*Available on Build Insight basic plans.
As we continuously aim to help speed up your app development process and build great apps even faster, more great updates for Insights are on the way. In the meantime, if you have any feedback, please share it with us here.
Happy building!
