Just took a second look at this. It would be great to eventually
integrate something like XRadar into our daily build process. And the
animated Kiviat chart stuff is a great idea! It will be quite interesting
to compare/contrast this kind of analysis with telemetry (I think there
will be pros and cons to each approach; they are complementary, not
competitive.)
Here is a sneak peak at Animated Spider Web charts:
http://csdl.ics.hawaii.edu/~kagawaa/spiderweb.zip . Its pretty bogus right
now, but this will give you an idea of what I mean by animated.
1) Download and unzip this zip file.
2) Open the Temp60919.png with "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" or
something similar.
3) Click on the "next" icon on the bottom left portion of the viewer.
4) Repeat step 3 over and over again to see the "animation". (haha told you
it was bogus).
Here's some info:
- These charts show hacky2004-all data from February 2005 to March 2005.
- The spikes Commit, Unit Test, Code Issue, and Issue are fake datasets.
- Coverage, Active Users, Test Active Time, Test File Metric and Build are
generated from the sensor data.
Upcoming tasks:
- Add more measurements.
- Figure out how to keep the axis at 100.
- Group alike metrics. For example, Coverage and Test File Metric values
hardly change, so maybe for aesthetics they should be grouped next to each
other.
- Last, but not least, figure out what this means.....
thanks, aaron
