SVNChecker – The Missing Link Between Version Control And Bug Tracking
- 1. SVNChecker – The Missing Link Between Version Control And Bug Tracking EuroPython 2008 (07.-09.08.2008, Vilnius) Stefan Pielicke < Stefan.Pielicke@dlr.de> German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cologne http://www.dlr.de/sc
- 2. The DLR German Aerospace Research Center Space Agency of the Federal Republic of Germany
- 3. 5,600 employees working in 28 research institutes and facilities at 13 sites . > 1000 developers Offices in Brussels, Paris and Washington. Sites and employees Köln Lampoldshausen Stuttgart Oberpfaffenhofen Braunschweig Göttingen Berlin - Bonn Trauen Hamburg Neustrelitz Weilheim Bremen -
- 4. Scientific Software Development Daily Observations in Research Labs and Industry… Specific phenomenon: developments starting small (short script) but grow larger and larger during time Team sizes : from 1 student to > 50 scientists from several departments Lots of scientists (i.e. mathematicians, physicists, engineers) have no education in software engineering but developing large and/or critical applications Their aim : fast implementation or their ideas into running code Loss of productivity through archaic tools und procedures old text editors (vi, Emacs, Notepad) code exchange via e-mail, memory sticks or NFS no methodical testing
- 5. Tools used at the DLR Wiki MoinMoin Issue-Tracking MANTIS IDE z.B. Eclipse Repository Browser ViewVC Test and verification tools Check Test Build Status CruiseControl Builds and tests
- 6. Automatic server side code check Checks: Checking the Code various ways At commit A failure stops the process Handlers: Logging the result The Tao of Source Control: “ If it’s not in the repository, it doesn’t exist.” a failed check IDE e.g. Eclipse Commit Check
- 7. Checks Examples Checks on source code Coding Style Checkstyle (Java) or Pylint (Python) Source code analysis Findbugs (Java) or QA C/C++ Environmental checks Access rights Check on access rights for the repository, directories or single files Issue/Bug tracking Check for valid ids
- 8. Handler Examples Possible output targets for check results: Email Logfile Stdout Database Note in bug tracking system RSS feeds Blog post
- 9. SVNChecker Hook Script Framework for Subversion Function Better integration of version control in the dev process Especially the connectivity to the bug tracking system Usage Called by subversion via a hook ( pre-commit , post-commit ) External tools will be integrated via plug ins
- 10. SVNChecker Architecture SVNChecker Transaction Check 1 Check 2 Check 3 Transaction Message Exit-code Handler A Handler B Handler C Exit-Code ● ● ● ● ● ● external tools external tools Subversion Repository Hook Script
- 11. SVNChecker Program Flow commit Execute check Return msg = 0? Execute success handlers Execute failure handlers Checks left? true false true false Abort commit Finish commit
- 12. EXAMPLE
- 13. SVNChecker Next steps (est. 3 months) More version control systems: CVS Perforce Git CVS More bug tracking systems: Bugzilla GForge Trac
- 14. SVNChecker Next steps (est. 3 months) Check Configuration interface via WebService: Changes can be seen fast Dev team can make changes easily Small amount of administrative action needed config WebService
- 15. SVNChecker Future activities (no time schedule) Planned extension: Graphic UI for configuration Through a web interface and/or via an eclipse plug-in Visions: Fully fledged test suite Complete traceability of developement process Integration of provenance recording (http://www.gridprovenance.org)
