Dashboard

Monolithic Dashboard

• Dashboard Status - Today's Dashboard
• Need more Windows machines in Gerrit builds.

Valgrind Errors

• 2,000 in one Machine? and 0 in another?
  • Almost all of these are NRRD related. Why do we see them on this build and not this other build?

Refactoring Workflow

• Right now
  • code is developed on other remote
  • once the code is mature, we submit to gerrit
  • lost history
  • refactoring may appear as single commit from one person (not team spirit oriented)
• Any other solution?

Adding Test Data

• Right now
  • Gerrit patch with new test data is proposed, but data isn't added to external repository
  • Tests are expected to fail
  • After initial round of feedback, test data is added to repository
  • Robot builds run again and tests pass
  • Gerrit patch merged

• New way
  • Follow method outlined by Brad King: http://www.itk.org/mailman/private/insight-developers/2011-June/019048.html
  • Tests should pass right away
  • Review cycle
  • Gerrit patch merged

• Should we be using the new way yet?
