CI/CD Integration
Make quality a non-negotiable part of every release. Thunders plugs into your CI/CD pipeline so tests run automatically on every commit - with Distributed Test Orchestration cutting feedback loops to minutes and quality gates blocking regressions before they ever reach users.
Why choose Thunders for CI/CD Integration
Native plugins for GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps
Connect Thunders to GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, or Azure DevOps using simple API calls.
Quality gates that block failing builds automatically
Turn test results into release decisions. Your CI blocks deployments when critical tests fail.
Results delivered inside your CI dashboard
Test results are available directly in your pipeline, with pass/fail status and links to failure details.
Distributed Test Orchestration cuts wait times
Run tests across multiple workers simultaneously to reduce execution time from hours to minutes.
One test suite across all environments
Execute the same test suite on staging, UAT, and production to detect environment-specific issues early.
Track test health and flakiness across builds
Use retries and historical runs to identify unstable tests and improve reliability.
CI/CD Integration Use Cases
Catch breaking changes before merge. Thunders runs the full regression suite on every PR and posts results directly into the pull request review - pass/fail per test, with links to failure details.
Set quality gates on your highest-value tests - checkout, login, core API responses. If a critical flow fails, Thunders exits with a non-zero code and the pipeline stops. No human needed to catch it.
Run the same test suite against dev, staging, and production with parallel execution. Compare results across environments to isolate environment-specific failures instantly.
Thunders helps you spot unstable tests across runs, understand failure patterns, and apply retries to reduce noise in your pipeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which CI/CD tools does Thunders integrate with?
Thunders has prebuilt integrations for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps. Any CI system that supports CLI or API triggers also works. Initial setup takes minutes.
How do I configure Thunders to run on pull requests?
Add the Thunders step to your CI workflow file - for example, a GitHub Actions YAML. Specify the test suite and trigger. Thunders posts results back to the PR automatically as a check, with pass/fail detail per test.
Can I set quality gates to block failing deployments?
Yes. Define the criteria - pass rate threshold, specific test categories that must pass, zero critical failures - and Thunders exits with a non-zero code when the gate is not met, blocking the pipeline.
Q4: How does Thunders handle flaky tests in CI pipelines?
Thunders tracks each test's historical pass/fail rate and flags tests with high flakiness scores. You can configure automatic retries for unreliable tests and quarantine them so they do not block CI while being investigated.
