Dear All -
This is to report another important milestone in improving our quality infrastructure. This evening
another significant branch has been merged, itself representing more than 6 months work by Tony Atkins but
building on yet more work implementing similar capabilities for Infusion and captured in other projects in
our ecosystem, including gpii-testem. As a result of this, we will now have complete code coverage
information pooled between our web-based and node-based unit tests and integration tests, which will greatly
improve the efficiency of future code review.
The code coverage reports can be browsed within the "reports" directory created after a standard
(successful) run of the "npm test" task. We should be aiming to reach a baseline quality target of around
90% branch coverage, which across most of our implementation we do already. Once we reach this uniformly, we
should consider how further engineering cycles should best be spent.
Similar capabilities will now be rolled out across our other GPII projects, and also we will probably try to
enroll in some form of coverage dashboard so that this can be checked in an automated way as part of our CI.
Could everyone who has outstanding pull requests against universal please merge them up against current
master, and if your work has contributed any further implementation files you will need to explicitly list
them against the peculiar patterns found in the .nycrc file listed here (bug has been filed in the upstream
"istanbul" project which will hopefully make this unnecessary one day):
https://github.com/GPII/universal/blob/master/.nycrc
This has been a long road with many awkward turnings due to mismatched assumptions and inflexible
implementations in the tower of projects that we depend on, and let us all join in congratulating Tony on
the endurance and carefulness needed to land this highly valuable work improving our project infrastructure.
Cheers,
Antranig.
