Week 1 - A Test Scheduler for the MySQL Build Farm Initiative - Mon, 11:31 PM Jun 2 2008

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST WEEK

• I integrated some changes from the past semester into the Skoll Client source code. These changes will allow the client to collect more detailed information of the testing process. One of such change is creating a separate log file for each step of the testing process.
• I created a mock-up for the new HTML testing report pages. The goal of the new report pages is to combine the interfaces of push-build and Skoll. Push-build provides very detailed information of testing process, while Skoll is good at visualizing huge number of test results. The new interface looks promising, but lots of improvements will be added later on.
• I began to modify the module that's responsible for generating the HTML testing report pages. This week I separated test result generation from HTML generation, so in the future other reporting interfaces can be implemented for the test results. Eventually, the test results should be stored in a database for easier report generation.
• I got confirmation from MySQL team that someone is looking into providing the push-build tar balls.
