We are in a good state across the board of being able to get lots of output and lots of results; I'm now more concerned about recognizing trends, e.g. John Cherry's work to consolidate warning counts, etc., would be good to have the same thing from LTP and other test harnesses. Pretty soon, I'd love to see a dashboard with a blinking red light whenever a new bug went into linux that can be clicked, drill down to the failure, click through to the changed lines of code, and work on a fix. Dreaming of a brighter, not too distant future. ;-) gerrit |
