Issue Type: Improvement Improvement
Affects Versions: current
Assignee: Bruno P. Kinoshita
Components: tap

Description:

The Jenkins TAP plugin is awesome, but could be designed to scale a bit better. As an example:

My client's test-suite has ~60,000 test cases in ~1,300 test scripts. After running the test suite with a Shell build step that ultimately runs:

prove --archive $WORKSPACE/tap-output t

And passing that on to Jenkins TAP plugin, we see:



Its difficult to navigate both tapResults & tapTestReport pages because they are so big.

I'd suggest setting these goals:

  • minimise on-disk storage of TAP output & parsed TAP results
  • minimise load-time of TAP Results & TAP Test Report pages
  • enhance usability of these pages

Here are a few ideas:

  • Don't pre-render TAP results
  • At a glance, I don't think the Jenkins TAP plugin is, but included just in case
  • Avoids: large files on disk of pre-rendered content
  • Render results client-side
  • Introduce server-side APIs for: test-set summaries, test-set details, original TAP output
  • Render test-set summaries by default
  • Only render test-set details on request
  • Avoids: a high up-front load time for large result sets
  • Gracefully degrade to individual pages
  • Introduce a filter for failed tests
  • Stop storing parsed TAP results in build.xml
  • Move to an sqlite db?
  • At least: remove extra whitespace
  • Compress everything in tap-master-files
  • deliver it to client compressed to minimise over-the-wire transfer size?

See also:

  • JENKINS-13451 - I ran into a similar scaling issue with TAP::Formatter::HTML, though different because of the nature of the tool - static output was a requirement. Still, some ideas such as 'minimise size of html & CSS used in report', and 'remove unnecessary whitespace' may apply here.
