"If you want your software to be adopted by Americans, good tests scores from the CI server are very important. Volkswagen uses a defeat device to detect when it's being tested in a CI server and will automatically reduce errors to an acceptable level for the tests to pass. This will allow you to spend less time worrying about testing and more time enjoying the good life as a trustful software developer."

So, you're telling me there is an #opensource utility called #Volkswagen on the loose that lets "software developer" to relax by detecting when tests are running in #CI environment, only to make them pass and ignore the problems these tests were supposed to prevent in the first place?

@vintprox faith in humanity restored!

@vintprox It's also a joke referencing VW's history of emissions testing shenanigans:

Learn about EPA's issued notice of violation (NOV) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to Volkswagen. The NOV alleges software that circumvents EPA emissions standards for certain air pollutants.
