I'm working with a process like this:

• Every commit starts builds and tests
• If that succeeds, it can be deployed for manual testing by QA
• If they accept, it can be merged to master

However there are some tests that are problematic, like

• Check that all messages have been translated
• Check that indentation is correct, or other style rules

I would want to have a test for that - don't want any missing translations in production.

But I would not want to block the manual test if there's no Spanish translations - those translations can take time to come in, but won't change the test outcome.

Smaller stories may also be behind feature flags and thus could be merged without being polished (or having translations).

How do you deal with this? Do you have some tests (like missing translations) that don't block the build, and others that do?
