Re: Progress indicators for project management
Hi Benoit, Your QALab plugin for m2 looks quite promising. Can it aggregate surefire-reports too ? We have a very large multi-module project with junit tests in each module. surefire-reports are generated in each module during the site phase. But we'd want to eventually aggregate at the top, a summary of the surefire tests with links to the reports in the individual modules.

Re: Progress indicators for project management
It is a possibility but we will not do it for version 1.0 (we working on it... the M2 plugin is nicely coming along!) Of course, if you want to develop it, we would be gladly include it with full credit. You would need to create a StatMerger which could be simply extending BaseStatMerge. The principal objective of QALab is simply to keep track of some stats over time, it is not an 'aggregate' tool as such... Keep an eye on QALab... coming soon to a java build near you! :-) Benoit prasad wrote: Hi Benoit, Your QALab plugin for m2 looks quite promising. Can it aggregate surefire-reports too ?

Re: Progress indicators for project management
Hi All, I'm also trying to put in place QLab (Great! BTW), I got it running with PMD (pretty much the same configuration as below). It generates the movers-report without any issue. However, during the execution of the chart goal, I see exceptions in the maven traces : [INFO] java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\...\petStoreCommon\target\site\qalab\summary.png (Le chemin d'accÞs spÚcifiÚ est introuvable) Same errors for each file after the generation of the summary chart. Directory target/sote/qalab exists on my machine. It only contains all-packages, index, movers and overview-summary.html. Any idea? Has anyone encountered something similar?

Re: Progress indicators for project management
Hi! I tried it quicly and came across a few issues (most of which are easily dealt with). Did you try to setup QALab in a continous integration environment? I set up my project to run checkstyle:check as well as qalab-merge after the verify phase using code similiar to the following in the build-section of the pom: plugin groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId artifactIdmaven-checkstyle-plugin/artifactId executions execution idcheckstyle/id phaseverify/phase goals goalcheck/goal /goals /execution /executions [...] /plugin The problem I ran across is that the qalab-plugin gets executed before the checkstyle-plugin and thus finds no checkstyle-result.xml to merge. Did anyone of you ran across this problem as well? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Hendrik Busch - Stellv.

Re: Progress indicators for project management

Thanks for trying QALab, as you know from this thread, it is
work-in-progress.
You can create your exporter that would log things in JDBC if you want, see:
http://qalab.sourceforge.net/faq.html#my-export
If you write one such item, we would like to include it if it is generic.
I know that the QA generation has changed dramatically between ant/maven 1
and maven2, some seems to do away without XML, which is extremelly
surprising and frustrating.
Could you post your settings as it may help us to better understand how
QALab is used in the community.
Thanks
Benoit.

It seems a little verbose. I wonder if a more concise configuration is possible?
Also, I would like to set it up in my root pom and inherit the
confiuration in the modules, but that doesn't seem very
straightforward.
Is it possible to configure it in the root pom and bind it to a
lifecycle phase in the child pom (this is a general maven 2 question)?
A bigger issue is that the history is stored within an xml file in the
project. I imagine that qalab would be run within a continuous
integration context in general and the history would be lost.
Is it possible
Progress indicators for project management
Hi all, For project management purpose, I am interesting to have some progress indicators. These indicators are provided by several maven plugins: Checkstyle, PMD, surefire, Findbugs, ... But they are not merged with their values in previous builds to display an historical graph showing the indicators evolution. I have thought about this feature, and I think that: - these indicators should be stored in a database (XML file, Mysql, or ...). - tables should be auto-created by maven plugins What do you think about JFreeChart to generate graphs ? Do you know a simple persistence framework that can create tables ?

Re: Progress indicators for project management
Checkout qalab[1], there's a maven plugin around for it, though I haven't used it. Perhaps search the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list archives, I think there was a thread over there in the last few weeks regarding the maven reporting API. Many people are very, very interested in this type of capability. XRadar[2] was another tool name that come to mind.

Thanks Doug, I will try QALab. It seems that no Maven2 plugin exists for XRadar.

Re: Progress indicators for project management
I tried it quicly and came across a few issues (most of which are
easily dealt with).
I took the example configuration on the maven2 QALab plugin page
( http://qalab.sourceforge.net/maven2/faq.html )
and simplified it to just working with PMD. I came across the following issues:
* By default PMD doesn't seem to produce an XML report
* When the PMD plugin is instructed to produce an XML report it puts
it in target and the QALab example QALab expects it to be in
target/pmd.
* By Default, the PMD plugin seems to run in the report phase and the
example runs in the verify phase
I got it working in the end with the following configuration

It seems a little verbose. I wonder if a more concise configuration is possible?
Also, I would like to set it up in my root pom and inherit the
confiuration in the modules, but that doesn't seem very
straightforward.
Is it possible to configure it in the root pom and bind it to a
lifecycle phase in the child pom (this is a general maven 2 question)?
A bigger issue is that the history is stored within an xml file in the
project. I imagine that qalab would be run within a continuous
integration context in general and the history would be lost.
Is it possible to override the location of this and store it somewhere
outside the project so that when the continuous integration system
(luntbuild in our case) does a clean build, this history is not lost?

Checkout qalab[1], there's a maven plugin around for it, though I haven't
used it. Perhaps search the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list archives, I think there
was a
thread over there in the last few weeks regarding the maven reporting API.
Many people are very, very interested in this type of capability.
XRadar[2] was another tool name that come to mind.
