CPAN Tester People:
You may already be aware that GeekRuthie and I have been working on a
newer modern CPT frontend that we've named Perl Magpie, but I want to
make a formal announcement that we're ready for more eyeballs on our new
project.
https://matrix.perl-magpie.org/
Perl Magpie serves as a user frontend for the CPT database backend. It
operates 100% using the CPT API to fetch test metadata and results. The
current Perl Magpie database has 1.9 million test records spanning the
last three months. It pre-loads all non-PASS tests, and loads PASS tests
on demand. It's designed from the ground up to be lightning fast, and
lower the load on the CPT backend.
Improvements that have been made over the "vanilla" CPT matrix view:
* Modern HTML5 webui
o Responsive design for tablets and phones
* Simplified columns
o Combined all the *BSDs into one column
o Combined the Cygwin and Windows columns
o Maximum of five OS columns now (might combine Solaris and drop
to four)
* JSON read API on every page
* Top 10 tests for modules in the last hour/day
* HTML log of last 500 modules/tests imported (good for learning about
new modules)
* Lightning fast! Most pages render in less than 10ms
* Syntax highlighting of test results to make finding important parts
quicker
Example module: https://matrix.perl-magpie.org/dist/Random-Simple
I've been using it exclusively to consume test results of my modules for
over two months now and it's been great. Let us know your feedback
either here on this mailing list, or #cpantesters-discuss on IRC.
