Backlog

This page describes some of the issues we want to tackle in the near future.

Small Issues

• Display full commit description and title consistently in interface.
• Add a breadcrumb trail to allow users to easily go back to the selected group page.
• Certain tags can include changes in a commit, but do not trigger a build.
• Students can request a certain commit to be built.

Features

• Comments / discussion on a tag.
• In-line comments in diffs / code.
• Historic trends on number of checkstyle warnings, junit results, coverage results, pmd, etc.
• mvn site on e.g., just the tags for grading purposes.
• Add a tag using the web-interface, to help students who don't understand pushing.
• Display a date for commits and pushes.
• Allow assistants to merge / split groups, and move students between groups.

Admin panel

• Write admin/deployment manual.
• Allow admin to kill stuck builds.
• Notify admins when build queues get stuck.
• Maven repository

Key Performance Indicators

• Provide overview of KPIs such as number of commits, coverage, number of test cases, percentage of passing builds, etc.

Usage beyond TU Delft

• At this moment: Deployment via Vagrant relatively easy.
• Authentication is presently based on university-specific LDAP server. This already is configurable, but there is no account management page / way to create a user. Another possibility is to setup a separate LDAP server.

Scaleability

What if we run this on a massive scale?

• Presently deployed on two VMs: One with git/devhub/1-buildserver; Other with 3-buildservers.
• Need to conduct measurements what happens under massive load / stress.
