The number of tests that fail in precommit seems to be on the rise. The larger the number of seemingly unrelated failures to a patch, the higher are the chances of missing out on actual failures caused by a the patch, resulting in further increase in failures.
I think we need to give this some attention soon. Should we create an umbrella jira to track the current set ? Are there any bugs already open to track them ? I didn't see any when i searched by component test/tests. Thanks, Thejas
