I might add that testing X/develop with Y/master has another drawback. When a change is made to Y/develop, it is tested against everything/master. It passes the tests but the change actually breaks X. When the change is merged to Y/master, X is broken and it stays that way until Y cycles again.

This tends to happen in practice regardless of the testing scheme. The author of X doesn't watch the tests of Y.

In my example Y tests would succeed, but X would fail if it was tested against Y/develop.

Yes, sorry. "The author of Y doesn't watch the tests of X."
