The tslogparser tool can be split into
several modules: Installation / Update,
Generic Administration; TestSuite Specifics;
Database system specifics; Visualization.
Installation / Update
This module checks on each page loading that
the database is up-to-date, and is also responsible
for creating or upgrading the database schema as
needed.
Generic Administration
This is the user interface part of the database
management. It provides the privilegied user with
the tools to add new testsuite releases and new
log files.
Testsuite Specifics Module
The administration interface enumerates the plug-ins
files. Each plug-in provides the functions to add a
new testsuite, delete a testsuite, add a new run and
delete a run. See source file modules.inc.php for more
information on this. You will also find a lot of useful information
in the admin/modules/new.mod.php.template file.
Database System Specifics Module
This module aims to provide a simple abstraction layer
for the database access. By providing wrapper routines
for querying the database (SELECT,
INSERT, ...) it is made possible to
have the tslogparser tool use database
engines other than MySQL. At the current time however,
only MySQL module is provided.
Generic Processing Module
This is the general-user part. It consists in providing
the user a tool to browse inside the database contents
to find quickly what are the known testsuites releases
and runs. It also allows to browse inside a given run and
extract information (filtering, statistics, ...). Last
but not least, it permits to compare several runs (of the
same testsuite -- same testsuite release currently).
All this processing is NOT dependent
on the testsuite structure (or plug-in).
Future Modules
Please refer to the TODO file to see
other possible improvements.
