Ideally you want to pick the first instance of a failure and work backwards in time to find the root cause. | |||
In practice this can be confusing as we have multiple branches or sometimes different configs that fail at different times. | |||
I would look at the first 10 failures and weigh: | |||
* what branch is most common | |||
* where do the timestamps end up close to each other | |||
* is the most common config on the same branch and with close timestamps | |||
In many cases you will pick a different failure as the first point- I often like to pick the second instance of the branch/config so I can confirm multiple revisions show the failure (show a pattern). | |||
