Test execution history ... suggestions

APG · Post by **APG** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 9:33 am

Hi,
I'm generally impressed with the new version (1.7 RC1) but the test execution history seems to be badly implemented. One of the problems with version 1.6.2 is the inabilitiy to see the results for the last test run after you create a new build.

With version 1.7 there is a test execution history but only within the current build, when you run tests for a new build there is no history present.

Normally you will only run the tests once for a build, then the software is reworked and you get a new build. If you use one build and run thru is multiple times in order to see a history, then the reports are not as useful.

How difficult would it be to show the results of the last build in the history? This would be a very useful feature.

I would appreciate a different approach when talking about something
you think is wrong or definetively is wrong.
I.e. : i don't lik comments like ".. badly implemented ..".
Is just implemented in this way, and may be in an incomplete way.

the same applies to your comment regarding "how difficult ...",
Just go to mantis and report what feature would you like to have
without adding any kind of (IMHO) not funny comments.

We are open to your contributions, then feel free to get the code
and improve it, and send back it to us.
We will happy to add it to TL.

Now I'm been not so polite saying: You have the change of understand
how difficult can be than what you want on exec history.

Any way check config.inc.php to see if some of the config
parameters can change the behaivour in the way you want

Regards

I didn't intend for the comments to be sarcastic I apologize for that, especially the 'How difficult..' remark, this was meant to be taken litetally i.e. would it is possible to add the execution history across all builds and how would I go about doing it. I have very little PHP experience and is it something I could do easily or would it require a reasonable amount of programming experience?

Thanks
Alan

Please read the config.inc.php, I think we have a parameter to allow
showing all results on all builds.

if this is not enough, report an issue on mantis, with a clear and detailed request.

I have made some changes to the code to allow version 1.7 to show the complete history across all builds. Where can I post / email the updates for you to look into.

Thanks
Alan

Great! - Open an issue on mantis and upload the code
