I’m pretty familiar with automated tests where you’re comparing a received value to an expected value (e.g. basically all unit/integration tests) — in a CI/CD workflow, you handle test failures by failing the whole pipeline, and then that commit/PR/etc has a pipeline that failed next to it.

However, what if I have some kind of “performance” measure I want to track, instead? Something that isn’t pass/fail, but rather a set of experimental results over time? (e.g. speed of responses from an API, wins/draw/loss rates on chess bot, confusion matrix scores for a classifier, etc.) Is there a tool that can show that kind of “automated experiment” results in order by git commit, pull request, etc?

I thought about sending the data to some kind of data store with a Grafana front-end, but I was hoping there might be some less “diy” method for creating such a display.

    Feels like you could maybe (ab)use an ML experiment tracking tool for this, something like MLFlow. Except instead of training an ML model you just trigger your tests and report the statistics from those back to the tracking tool.
