Continuous Integration (CI) aims at supporting developers in inte-grating code changes quickly through automated building. How-ever, there is a consensus that CI build failure is a major barrierthat developers face, which prevents them from proceeding furtherwith development. In this paper, we introduceBF-Detector, anautomated tool to detect CI build failure. Based on the adaptationof Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II), our toolaims at finding the best prediction rules based on two conflictingobjective functions to deal with both minority and majority classes.We evaluated the effectiveness of our tool on a benchmark of 56,019CI builds. The results reveal that our technique outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by providing a better balance between bothfailed and passed builds.BF-Detectortool is publicly available,with a demo video, at: https://github.com/stilab-ets/BF-Detector.
