We use [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/actions) for executing the tests after each commit.
For developing, it is sufficient to only run the associated test locally (see example [here](https://devdocs.jabref.org/getting-into-the-code/guidelines-for-setting-up-a-local-workspace/intellij-12-build.html)) for the classes you changed.
GitHub will report any other failure. To find solutions to the most common errors that lead to such failures, check our [FAQ page](https://devdocs.jabref.org/code-howtos/faq).
We view pull requests as a collaborative process.
Submit a pull request early to get feedback from the team on work in progress.
We will discuss improvements with you and agree to merge them once the [developers](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/MAINTAINERS) approve.
Please also remember to discuss bigger changes early with the core developers to ensure properly spend time and work.
Some fundamental design decisions can be found within our list of [Architectural Decision Records](https://devdocs.jabref.org/decisions/).
