SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autosteer eliminates the need for manual pausing during development by executing all pipeline phases automatically and only stopping on quality-gate failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end pipeline automation across phases 1-7, with optional retries on test failures.
  • Enforces guardrails to prevent commits to main, skipping quality gates, or untracked changes.
  • Use Case: when you want rapid iteration on a ticket without constant approvals, while ensuring quality gates.

Quick Start

Start Autosteer in your project and let it run the full pipeline with quality-gate checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate the full development pipeline without manual approvals?

You can automate the full development pipeline by executing all phases automatically with quality-gate checks. This approach runs phases 1-7 end-to-end and only stops when a quality gate fails, eliminating manual pausing during rapid iteration.

What are pipeline quality gates and how do they enforce guardrails?

Pipeline quality gates are automated validation checks that enforce guardrails by preventing commits to main, blocking skipped quality gates, and stopping on untracked changes. They ensure structured reporting of artifacts like tickets, branches, and PRs.

Can I automatically retry failed tests during DevOps pipeline execution?

Yes, you can automatically retry failed tests during DevOps pipeline execution. The automation supports optional retries on test failures to handle transient issues before stopping the pipeline for manual intervention.

Does autonomous pipeline execution work with untracked git changes?

No, autonomous pipeline execution does not work with untracked git changes. The enforced guardrails specifically stop the pipeline if untracked changes are detected to maintain repository cleanliness and prevent accidental commits.

What is the best way to ensure no direct pushes to main during software automation?

The best way to prevent direct pushes to main during software automation is to use enforced guardrails within the pipeline. These built-in guardrails automatically block any commits attempting to push directly to the main branch.

When should I not use autonomous pipeline automation for my project?

You should not use autonomous pipeline automation when your project requires manual approval steps between phases or when you need to bypass quality gates. The automation strictly enforces guardrails and stops completely on validation failures.
