QA/Mozmill Test Automation/Dashboard/Roadmap/0.4

Version 0.4

With version 0.4 we are planning to replace the CouchDB backend of the Dashboard with probably ElasticSearch. Therefore more time is necessary, so we do not expect to see the release before end of Q2 in 2011. Owen Coutts will mainly work on that release during his internship.

Functionality

Front End

• Filter by:
  • Locale
  • OS
  • Build/Version (Ideally select a range)
  • Date
• Tag Bugs
• Linking test modules to the repository for easier investigation of failures

Application Server

• Deal with users
  • Ideally through LDAP so we don't have to roll a registration system
• Tag Bugs
  • Add/Change/Remove of bug numbers to specific failures
  • Add Comments

Elastic Search

• Connect River to backend storage

Backend Storage

• Map-Reduce Reports
  • failures/passes per function
  • Probably will require a different db/index

Tasks

Q1

• Define specs and requirements for the replacement dashboard
• Create an Elastic Search pilot application to confirm the expected functionality

Q2

• Update specs and requirements based on pilot application
• Implement features based on specs in multiple milestones
• Deploy application to production
• Hold a brownbag to present the new dashboard

Progress

Prototype

• Proof of concept to show that at least the same functionality can be rolled with elastic search.
• Technical Knowledge learned can be found here: Proof of Concept Prototype
