Kakapo | PR Testing Automation Tool

Kakapo is a tool I developed in Go in my capacity as tooling lead for the hypervisor group in OpenSynergy. The tool was conceived as a snapshotting tool to take immutable snapshots of our repo-based workspace, but I quickly realized it had much more potential since these snapshots could then be used to:

• Make identical copies of existing workspaces on different computers for pair or group programming.
• Roll back workspaces to known good snapshots for troubleshooting and debugging.
• Create release manifests for testing, archiving, and release creation.
• Improve consistency of the testing regime.

Later additions also included scanning of open PRs on any given Bitbucket project, automatically launching tests on updates to those PRs using Bamboo's commit trigger, and reporting test results back to the PRs as comments using Bitbucket REST API, providing a full-circle automated regression testing system.
