CI WASTE CALCULATOR

How much do flaky tests and "rerun everything" is costing you?

STEP 1 OF 2

Tell us about your team and testing habits

All values are editable. Defaults are industry benchmarks โ€” adjust to match your environment.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ A โ€” TEAM PROFILE

Who's building and shipping?

50 engineers

All devs committing to repos with CI pipelines

10 engineers

Dedicated QA, SDET, and automation engineers

$75/hr

Blended salary + benefits + overhead. Industry median: $75โ€“$95/hr

โš™๏ธ B โ€” CI BUILD PROFILE

How does your pipeline behave?

60 min

End-to-end time for one complete suite run. Industry median: 45โ€“90 min

4 builds/dev/day

Commits, PRs, and retries. Typical range: 3โ€“6

0 agentic builds/day

Builds triggered by AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot Workspace, Cursor, Devin). Default: 0

40%

What % of your builds run the complete suite rather than a subset?

3/week

Full-suite reruns triggered manually for confidence โ€” not by a failure. Conservative: 2โ€“5/week

โ˜๏ธ C โ€” CLOUD COMPUTE

What does your CI infrastructure cost?

$5,200/mo

Your monthly cloud runner spend that goes specifically to running tests (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins agents, etc.). Typical: $2kโ€“$15k/mo

๐Ÿ” D โ€” TRIAGE AND FAILURES

What does debugging CI failures actually cost?

15/week

How many CI failures require a human to investigate each week?

3 hrs

Time from alert to root cause. Often longer than teams estimate.

35%

Failures with no code change โ€” infrastructure noise, timing, environment. Industry: 25โ€“45%

ESTIMATED ANNUAL WASTE $0
YOUR RESULTS

Here's what inefficient testing is costing you

Based on your inputs and CloudBees Smart Tests production benchmarks.

ANNUAL TEST COMPUTE COST

$0

Running full suites on every build

TRIAGE LABOR (REAL BUGS)

$0

Engineers debugging real failures instead of shipping

FLAKY TESTS (LABOR + RERUNS)

$0

Investigation and reruns from failures with no real bug

TOTAL ANNUAL CI WASTE

$0

This grows 15โ€“20% annually as your test suite expands.

Every red build costs you $0. How many triggered this week?

Teams typically see 10โ€“25% faster PR/build feedback cycles within the first quarter. Testing only what matters, translates to 20โ€“50% less wasted CI spend (fewer unnecessary test minutes + less compute churn).
