[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-21099) Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations

[ku...@gmx.de (JIRA)]

kutzi commented on JENKINS-21099 Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations Extending on that: I agree that failed builds form (in most but not all cases) an exceptional case I do not agree that using failed builds is 'completely meaningless' - as Oliver pointed already out the next build may be likely to fail again, so the time until it will complete is of some value these are only estimates for the build duration and at no place - AFAIK - is specified that this only applies only to successful (and unstable) builds and not to failed builds. It's just the time until the current build will finish So in conclusion: I would be fine to apply a lesser weight to failed builds, so that in case there are failed and successful the successful builds will get more weight in the estimate. I don't think that leaving out failing builds completely is a good idea. There may be jobs which are failing all the time and not giving any estimate at all for them when I could do better is not feasible IMHO
