If you believe your changes caused a build or test failure, you can start investigation of the build problem and inform other team members about that. You can also assign another team member to investigate failed builds or mark a failed build as fixed and give up investigation.

This topic explains how you can perform these operation from the TeamCity Watched Projects view.
