Bill,
That makes sense. I am going to start by applying gross numbers to each of the steps and then refine. For instance, what was the last item that hung the job? I can go add a timeout to that step. Pat From: Dieter, William R Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 11:04 PM To: Lankswert, Patrick; iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org Subject: RE: Jenkins build timeout plugin Pat, I have not used the plugin before. There is an open bug against the build-timeout plugin complaining that no output is written to the console log when a build is killed for taking too long. So, when a job is killed, the developer looking at the console output would have to realize that the job was running for a long time and assume it was probably killed because of that. Granularity is at the Jenkins job level. Maybe it would make sense to do both. The verification builds are running prior to code review. We could set the Jenkins build-timeout plugin to catch cases where the build runs for 30 minutes or more because someone forgot to use "timeout -k", but should have. That is well outside the current 6 sigma build time range, and could be adjusted upwards if builds start taking significantly longer. Bill.

Which direction provides the greatest detail to failures when the time is exceeded?

Jenkins has a plug-in to kill build jobs that run longer than a preset timeout. Does anyone know a reason not to install that plugin?
