Month: April 2026 — DataDog/dd-trace-py focus: migrate system-tests CI to dd-sts for Datadog Test Optimization, standardize a single system-tests policy across all repositories, and enable a controlled rollout. Investments in CI policy consistency and secure test execution reduced key exposure and improved feedback speed for system-tests across the project.

March 2026 monthly summary for DataDog/dd-trace-py focused on test automation and CI enhancements that improve test feedback and reduce manual intervention. Delivered a tracer-release job in system-tests with automated test result uploads to Test Optimization. No major bug fixes reported for this period in this repository; feature work was additive and non-intrusive to existing test logic.

August 2025 (DataDog/system-tests): Implemented a CI optimization to skip builds/tests when only documentation files are modified. This reduces unnecessary CI runs and speeds feedback for docs contributors. The change was implemented under commit 69a85fbb6788281125345554a5d00fcea724bf62 with message "Do not run any scenario/libraries if only documentation is modified. (#5121)" and focuses on doc-change detection (.md, .rdoc, .txt).
