[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-21099) Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations

Re: Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations I am generally in agreement with the perspective that failures are outliers and meaningless.  I believe that the algorithm should exclude failed builds.  However I wonder if this is something that can  1)  be made configurable (i.e. include failed builds: yes/no, include unstable builds: yes/no, average the past N qualifying builds).  Alternately could a plugin be created that would override the default behavior so that people can have some choice in what algorithm to use by installing the desired plugin?

Re: Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations

https://jenkins.ci.cloudbees.com/job/core/job/acceptance-test-harness-stable/buildTimeTrend Builds #649, #650 have been running for just over an hour, and Jenkins says they are half done. Tom FENNELLY is rightfully confused, because all successful (well, unstable) runs take 6-7 hours. 15:58 Tom Fennelly: not much more I can say until the tests run and we see the results 15:59 Daniel Beck: six hours from now? 15:58 Tom Fennelly: well the build on https://github.com/jenkinsci/acceptance-test-harness/pull/88 says less than 2 hours 15:59 Tom Fennelly: estimated remaining is 1 hour 8 mins

Re: Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations

An very old issue. Is there anyone who could do anything to implement this? We would like failed build to be excluded as well from the average calculation. Perhaps a way to configure this would be preferable, so that it would work as before, but allow others to add excludes criteria.

Re: Don't give useless build time estimates by considering failed builds' durations

+1 for this. Also related, perhaps needs a separate issue. For pipeline builds, I would like to see estimates take into account what stage the build is in. We use a "queue" stage at the start of a build for the time spent waiting for a machine. Queue time can range from seconds to hours and that really throws off the estimates for the remainder of the build. Even though the remaining stages are generally consistent for execution times.
