| [soc-dev] [gsoc] Rich Data Visualization (weekly status) |
Hello, this is the weekly report or the GSoC project "Rich Data Visualization for Developer Statistics". Project description: Developer Statistics is an incubator project of Eclipse Code Recommenders that tracks how developers use their Eclipse IDE. If you ever wanted to find out how you use code completions or what commands you use most often, Developer Statistics has the answer. The goal of this project is to develop a rich visualization of the data collected, to enable the developer to drill down and find out how to make more efficient use of the Eclipse IDE's features. The already collected data could now be evaluated and displayed graphically in the form of diagrams. Thus, the software developers get very interesting metrics about their dealings with Eclipse. An example of this would be the activity of the developer in the IDE, on which days (maybe later also for weeks/months) they have worked very much and where less. This could be represented in the form of block diagrams. What I have done this week: I work at the moment on the task 429959, where we create several unit tests for the current code base, more details see in Gerrit review here. One another task for this week was to study something about plugin development. How it works, what are the best practices etc., see nice article from Lars Vogel. I have also tested and played around with the Eclipse Oomph Installer. I think the idea of this project is really cool and it works fine on my machine! Good job. Tasks for the next week: One another point would be to optimize the mock-up (see 433697). If you want to install Developer Statistics, look at the update site [1]. Feedback would be really great, please comment on bug 431842 or contact me on the mailing list. Regards, Akif |
