In their own words
BuildPulse
BuildPulse is a CI and test-health platform for tracking flaky tests, coverage, build activity, and engineering metrics. It detects flaky tests across branches and pull requests, ranks them by engineering time affected, and lets teams quarantine them. Detection can use JUnit XML from an existing test runner with one workflow step, without annotations or an SDK. Coverage tracking accepts LCOV and Cobertura XML and shows trends by branch and file. Repository views include pass rate, test volume, build duration, flaky-test disruption, and recent builds across 7-, 30-, and 90-day periods. BuildPulse also offers CI runners described as replacements for hosted runners from GitHub Actions, Semaphore, and CircleCI, along with AI code review. Connections include GitHub, Bitbucket, Jira, and Slack. BuildPulse says it processes test results, coverage reports, and CI metadata rather than keeping full source-code copies. Pricing starts at $99 a month for Startup; there is no free plan, though a 14-day trial is listed.
