             Summary: Provide a signal of a release branch health.
                 Key: BEAM-3062
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3062
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: testing
            Reporter: Valentyn Tymofieiev
            Assignee: Jason Kuster
            Priority: Minor


It appears that only committers can trigger an invocation of a Jenkins test suite on a branch, such as release branch. This is inconvenient. In a situation, when I send a PR to a branch and the precommit tests don't pass, I cannot easily identify whether my PR is at fault, or the branch was already unhealthy.
 
Also, if the release branch for whatever reason becomes unhealthy, we should be able to identify the breakage once it manifests. We have postcommit test runs on master branch. I may be wrong, but I think we don't have them configured for the release branches.
