List unstable tests with pass rate below 95%	<version> <keywords> [sippy-url]

Name

ci:list-unstable-tests

Synopsis

/ci:list-unstable-tests <version> <keywords> [sippy-url]

Description

The ci:list-unstable-tests command queries OpenShift CI test results from Sippy and lists all tests matching the keywords that have a pass rate below 95%. This is useful for quickly identifying unstable tests that need attention.

By default, it queries the production Sippy instance at sippy.dptools.openshift.org. You can optionally specify a different Sippy instance URL to query alternative environments (e.g., QE component readiness).

This command is useful for:

Identifying unstable tests with inconsistent pass rates
Finding regression candidates for investigation
Generating reports of unstable test cases
Prioritizing test stabilization efforts
Quality gate checks before releases

Arguments

$1 (version): OpenShift version to query (e.g., "4.21", "4.20", "4.19")
$2 (keywords): Keywords to search in test names (e.g., "olmv1", "sig-storage", "operator")
$3 (sippy-url) [optional]: Sippy instance base URL. Defaults to "sippy.dptools.openshift.org" if not provided. Examples: "qe-component-readiness.dptools.openshift.org"

Implementation

Parse Arguments
- Extract version from $1 (e.g., "4.20")
- Extract keywords from $2 (e.g., "olmv1")
- Extract Sippy URL from $3 if provided, otherwise use default "sippy.dptools.openshift.org"
- Normalize URL to extract base domain for API endpoint (strip "/sippy-ng/" suffix if present)
- Add "https://" prefix if not already present

Build Sippy API Request

Construct filter JSON for the /api/tests endpoint:

filters = {
    "items": [
        {
            "columnField": "name",
            "not": False,
            "operatorValue": "contains",
            "value": keywords
        }
    ],
    "linkOperator": "and"
}

Set query parameters:
- release: The OpenShift version
- filter: JSON-encoded filter object
- sort: "asc"
- sortField: "current_pass_percentage"

Query Test Statistics
- Construct API endpoint from provided URL: https://{base_url}/api/tests
- Make GET request to the constructed endpoint
- Parse response to extract test data
Filter Tests Below 95% Pass Rate
- Iterate through all returned tests
- Filter tests where current_pass_percentage < 95
- Sort filtered results by pass percentage (ascending, worst first)
- Collect the following data for each unstable test:
  - Test name
  - Current pass percentage
  - Total runs
  - Passes
  - Failures
  - Net improvement (trend indicator)
Format and Display Results
- Display summary header with:
  - Total number of tests matching keywords
  - Number of tests below 95% pass rate
  - Percentage of unstable tests
- List each unstable test with:
  - Test name
  - Pass rate percentage
  - Run statistics (runs/passes/failures)
  - Trend indicator (net improvement)
- Sort by pass percentage (worst tests first)
- If no tests are below 95%, display success message indicating all tests are stable

Return Value

Format: Formatted text output with:

Summary Section:

Total tests matching keywords
Tests below 95% pass rate (unstable tests)
Overall stability percentage

Unstable Tests List: For each test with pass rate < 95%:

Test name
Pass rate percentage
Total runs
Passes
Failures
Net improvement

If all tests pass at 95% or above, display a success message indicating all tests are stable.

Examples

List unstable OLMv1 tests from QE Sippy:
```
/ci:list-unstable-tests 4.20 olmv1 qe-component-readiness.dptools.openshift.org
```
Lists all OLMv1-related tests in version 4.20 from QE Sippy that have a pass rate below 95%.
List unstable storage tests (using default Sippy):
```
/ci:list-unstable-tests 4.21 sig-storage
```
Lists all storage-related tests in version 4.21 from production Sippy with pass rate below 95%.
List unstable operator tests:
```
/ci:list-unstable-tests 4.19 operator
```
Lists all operator-related tests in version 4.19 with pass rate below 95%.
Check specific component stability:
```
/ci:list-unstable-tests 4.20 sig-network qe-component-readiness.dptools.openshift.org
```
Lists all network-related unstable tests from QE Sippy.

Notes

Pass Rate Threshold: Fixed at 95% - tests with pass rate >= 95% are considered stable
Default Sippy URL: If no Sippy URL is provided, the command uses sippy.dptools.openshift.org by default
The command queries data from the last 7 days by default
Ensure you can access the Sippy API endpoints
Results are sorted by pass percentage (ascending) to show most unstable tests first
The net improvement metric shows if the test is getting worse (negative) or better (positive)
If no tests match the keywords, an appropriate message will be displayed
If all matching tests have pass rate >= 95%, a success message will be shown indicating all tests are stable

Output Example

================================================================================
Unstable Tests Report - 4.20 olmv1
================================================================================
Sippy Instance: qe-component-readiness.dptools.openshift.org
Pass Rate Threshold: < 95%

Summary:
  Total Tests Matching 'olmv1': 45
  Unstable Tests (< 95%): 8 (17.8%)
  Stable Tests (>= 95%): 37 (82.2%)

================================================================================
Tests Below 95% Pass Rate (sorted by worst first):
================================================================================

1. Test: [sig-olmv1] clusterextension install should fail validation
   Pass Rate: 23.5%
   Runs: 17 | Passes: 4 | Failures: 13
   Net Improvement: -45.2

2. Test: [sig-olmv1] clusterextension upgrade from v1 to v2
   Pass Rate: 67.8%
   Runs: 28 | Passes: 19 | Failures: 9
   Net Improvement: -12.3
