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.
Cheers
Prasad

Re: Progress indicators for project management
Posted by Benoitx <be...@yahoo.com>.
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! :-)
