[EXT] [testing-wg] Updated Event: Zephyr: Testing WG weekly call #cal-invite


Hake Huang
 

Hi All,

 

In this weekly meeting, Anas proposes that we shall create a regular candency to upload our test result. If we can not afford daily result upload, then we shall do a weekly upload in a given version, this PR is to create a new https://testing.zephyrproject.org/daily_tests/weeklys.json which contains the week of year and version tag in dict, so that we can use this json file to sync our efforts. In such way, we can get a full report with as many boards as possible in a given tag. Please kindly give you comments.

Regards,

Hake

Hi Hake,

I have few questions indeed:
1. Does it mean that https://testing.zephyrproject.org/daily_tests/versions.json would not be used anymore ?
    I suggest we keep it as weekly frequency will not be sufficient in release periods.
2. Is there a gating protocol in order to avoid publishing a "bad" commit with build issues that would prevent
    having meaningful results? If there's only one test result upload per week, we need to ensure a minimum quality
    is guaranteed
3. The duration of an automated test campaign on 14 boards is less than 3 hours (when there are no major issues).
    This of course depends on the machine used, but even with twice this duration, this can be done in a night.
    I'm curious about the obstacles to perform such campaigns on a daily basis.

Cheers
Erwan

Not everyone has a powerful build machine, for me the configurations are 2 4-core desktop PCs, which take me a whole day to finish 6 boards if there is not issues found, If something stack, I need restart another round of test cycle from beginning.

Thanks Hake for the feedback, it seems I underestimated the impact of test machine performance.

Nashif, Anas
 

I did not suggest using another file, we should use exactly the same file but expand the data we store there:

  • Add date
  • Add a flag for weekly

 

I do not think creating a new file is needed..

Thanks Anas.

 

My reason to create a new weekly json file.

 

  1. I find it is difficult to create a compatible json file. and I want to keep the versions.json consistent so that the existing parser will not change.
  2. I want to make it easy to select a weekly test once you know the week of year. So I propose a dict format:

{<Week of year> : <version tag>}

 

So it will be very easy to retrieve any given weekly’s hash tag, by

Data = json.load(…)

if week in data:

   version  = data[week]

 

I see your PR at https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/29583/files/2b962288f2058828282d100c18540928adc539bd..418ab8529567743a30a77ee6e5efdb4f66f7be54 , and I leave my comments there. Thanks.

Hake
