The same test keeps failing
The agent is going round in circles, trying variations of the same fix.
For: Team developer, Project lead
What happened
The agent has changed the code several times, and the same test fails every time.
Why it happens
Without a stop signal an agent keeps trying small variations of an approach that does not work, instead of stepping back or asking.
What Corpole does
- Raises a drift signal after three consecutive failures of the same test on the same story, and tells the agent to change its approach or open a question.
- Shows the signal under Agent health, and closes it on its own once the test passes.
What you do
- Read what the agent tried; the question it opens often shows the real blocker.
- Answer the question, or check whether the requirement or the test is wrong.
- When it is resolved, record the root cause; tick "keep as lesson" so the next agent knows.
Keep it from happening again
- Keep criteria specific enough to test; vague criteria produce tests that fail for the wrong reason.
