Quality Gate Not Failing in a Monorepo Subproject

[ganncamp (G Ann Campbell)]

Hi,

@Bryan_Chan

we’re still seeing the gate pass even when code coverage is too low

How many lines are in the change set / New Code definition when this happens? I’m willing to bet you’re falling afoul of what I call the “fudge factor”.

More details:

Quality gate passes despite condition not met

Hi, Thanks for the screenshots! It’s coverage you’re expecting to fail the Quality Gate on this PR. The reason it’s not is there in that tile: [Selection_1370] We long-ago implemented what I call a fudge factor: conditions on coverage and duplications on New Code aren’t enforced if there are fewer than 20 lines changed. Why? Because in our own testing, we found ourselves in a diminishing returns situation many times, trying to get 80% coverage on e.g. 5 lines when some of them weren’t covera…

 
HTH,
Ann
