Understanding results of a Try push can be difficult. I have started writing some documentation on tools to help understand it:
Specifically I want to call out "Confirm Failure".
This runs much faster than a retrigger and yields as strong if not a stronger signal. It runs as tier-3 right now, so you need to view tier-3 jobs in your try push.
Currently there are plans to make this more streamlined (and once there it will be tier-2), specifically:
* better UI filtering for tasks that don't have a clear signal after running confirm failures
* a more automated way to run confirm failure for try pushes (will at least require a bug, most likely a phabricator ID)
* other tools for running it easier manually
The more these tools are used, the more usability and edge cases can be fixed.
