When creating OST manual job, the UI select engine version 4.2 by default: https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-system-tests_manual/build?delay=0sec A developer that want to test engine master must change the version manually. I you forget to change the version, or just do not notice that there is engine version to choose, your job may succeed when it actually fail with engine master. Watching other developers start OST jobs, they do not notice that engine version must be selected, and treat it as the other options that most people do not care about. This is probably the reason why OST was broken for a week, and nobody complained about it, since default build used engine 4.2.

How to fix: - The UI must be changed to require engine version selection. You cannot have default for this. The UI should show something like: ENGINE_VERSION: [select version] *required - The "Build" button must be disabled if no version was selected.
