> 1303: GitHub has a feature called **GitHub Actions** (GHA) that can be used to automate testing. The GHA is executed whenever a PR is created or updated in the repository. The GHA in the JDK project is configured to run a set of tests that is commonly known as **tier 1**. This is a relatively fast, small set of tests that tries to verify that your change didn't break the JDK completely. In tier 1 the JDK is built on a small set of platforms including (but not necessarily limited to) Linux, Windows, and MacOS, and a few tests are executed using these builds.

One correction: Once enabled in your repo it runs on a push to a branch in your repo, not just when you create a PR. Skara will show the results of the test run when you create or update a PR.
