Gradle Enterprise Filtering

Developers need simple solutions to diagnose problems quickly and take action immediately.

The process is simple when a development team starts working on a project. Typically, a repository of code is hosted with a version control system. Developers then merge code into the central repository and experiment on branches. The operational management of development teams needs to grow and scale at the same pace as the team's growth, though this rarely happens. Countless development hours are wasted waiting for projects to be built and finding a needle in the haystack to address issues. Issues like slow build times can compound with flaky tests and unreliable code, ultimately leading to wasted development time. The solution I designed is the "omnibar." This single, dynamic input enables development managers to craft their filter criteria and quickly diagnose issues.
