OEM Bug

Log

● Uses apport.hookutils for automatic collection of system information● Uses assistant interface to guide the user through a decision tree● Developer feedback determines additional information to be collected● Automatically populates hardware information● Integrated into Checkbox and Stand-alone application


OEM Reports

Automatically Generated by Checkbox on the SUT

Tabbed report provides system specific information, test statistics, individual test case result detail, and logs Report


OEM Reports

Easily converted to common formats such as XLS, ODT, and CSV

Formatted to match the reporting requirements of our largest OEM partnersReview


Bug Time Tracker

Analyse

● Collects the history of every bug for a given project ● Displays bug statistics in table form● Allows the user to filter data on the same criteria● Plots filtered data● Figures can be saved to disk● Data can be exported to csv


The Future

Enhance

● Checkbox and Checkbox Editor merging to produce a single more flexible tool for managing test cases, runs, and results.

● Server based automated trend reporting for all projects using Launchpad Lib, and Certification.Canonical.com APIs

● Remote test execution with the integration of Jenkins into Checkbox

● Consolidated test result reporting with Platform QA for better integration of test efforts

● Full tool and test case support across all relevant architectures (x86, x86-64, ARM)
