Service EN5A

Release Test Cycle

Runs transactional. Starts when an upstream system posts an event. It runs 5,597 times a week across 6 stations. 2 of those stations stop for a person and 4 are done by an agent, 4 of them on the shared spine.

Run it

Change the volume, move the autonomy line, release a gate, and watch what happens to the hours in each lane and to the time it takes one run to get through. more

Decisions handed to agents0 of 2

Cheapest decision first. The last gate never moves: something on this service always ends with a person.

Each one is assumed to have 2,100 productive minutes a week, which is 35 hours.

Where an item spends its time

74% waiting on a person

26% in the agent lane

An item now takes 877 minutes of worked time end to end against 877 in the recorded estate, a change of +0%. This is worked time, not calendar time: nothing here models a queue or a weekend.

What this model is, on Release Test Cycle

The simulation is arithmetic on the estate, not a queueing model. more

How it runs

Run it again, going wrong

The same unit and the same stations, broken the way the estate already records breaking. more

6 stations, walked twice

Once clean, once with the categories the estate counts

This is the same unit on the same stations, breaking. more

No break below was chosen. more

One play head, two tracks, the same scale. The clean run stops when it runs out of stations; the other one keeps going.

Who runs it

Orchestration and accountability

Orchestrated by: Test Orchestrator
That orchestrator’s remit: Owns test run work end to end inside Engineering. Runs 3 lines across 15 stations, drains the repeatable share into the C2L tower, and holds 3 human gates.
Accountable person: Director, Quality Engineering
Sub-function: Test & Assurance
Shared spine tower: c2l
Hand-over points: None — this service stays inside its function
