In continuous integration, changes that contain defects or that suffer from a poor-quality can lead to build failures that stop a team from delivering. Which is your personal experience with build failures? How do you typically react to them?

Given your solid experience as developer/engineer/researcher, we kindly ask you to share your thoughts in the following (brief) survey: https://goo.gl/forms/8qvuAN4E2vBljc1Y2

It will take approximately 7 minutes of your time.
