Profiler of the Gods

Alex reported on profiler initiative -- Started working with Harm (first lead user). Status:

• Use case that he proposed has been defined
• Alex is able to reproduce on host
  • Alex raised the question of whether we are trying to help folks be effective on their first use of tool or on their common use tasks.
    • Alex suggests separating these into two different areas and pursuing them independently.

Oliver asked whether M4 will have better experience than previous version.

• Alex believes it will be better because of bug fixes.

Oliver asks if first iteration for fixes for POG will be M5

• • Do we believe Harm's test case will work in M7
    • Believe it will work in M5 (by end of this delivery)

Minutes from last week -- they are out as of Monday.

• review them...

Guru items (needs to leave early)

• Resources on Trace for a few trace buckets
  • A few of them are profiling cases
    • There was a bugzilla asked to review -- 200955
    • What to do in I4; what will be done by Joanna's team
  • Tests for profiling on trace used to be run by Eugene
    • Also have Jan 10 start for a

Send list to Joanna; will do what they can and remove others from test report.

• List was sent to Joanna; she now sees it.
• Guru asks for response today.
  • Guru considers moving tests to platform since they are for profiling
• Joann

Inactive committers list -- Has everyone sent out their mails?

• everyone send list to Chris

Component reorganization

• None for Trace
• Monitoring -- work done to remove from GA. Has work been done to put it on web site in "as is" section?
  • perfmon piece has not yet been put on asis.
  • log entry piece has been removed
    • Paul mention this needs to be done (also for rcp symptom editor/etc.)

Will we continue to build them?

• Whatever is easiest...
  • If not automatically building; post last good build there
  • If automatic building (for test components this is case), continue to build

Can this get done today?

• Alex will need to look into what is done already
  • RCPs are ready from 4.4.0.3
• Perfmon agent will take more work (2 parts client/server)
  • Alex to talk to Paul because paul had some 2 part stuff in manual test as well

Action item between AlexNan and Guru

• BTM trace execution component
  • Alex wants to track under trace
    • Motivation. code already in trace should be managed there and under monitoring managed there
  • Guru wants to track under monitoring
    • Motivation. historically want each feature to require platform and its subproject not to require another subproject.

ARM agent of btm is in trace ARM instrumentation of btm (in platform) -- functionally there is no trace.execution for ARM

It is looking like it should be in Platform

• There have not been discussions to change web site so it is considered correct.

arm.agent not moving arm.instrumentation (paul does not think should be in platform... core underlying piece in platform...) btm.wrapper in monitoring

---

can put off to f2f reorganization

• paul suggests -- call in new year to see if can quickly close before delaying to f2f.
• Has implications on packaging longer term

• Test Done
• Platform

Test automation

• Monitoring -- 3 or 4 test suites automated
  • Blocked by 2 AGR defects for addl test automation
• Platform -- Automated what planned to automate
  • Process documentation/strategy by end of week
    • Achieved 20% savings
    • Will we save more than invested... Yes
  • Trace/Profiling -- had some automated already
    • Remaining done by Joanna in Platform
• Test -- achieved all wanted except for 3 test cases that had AGR issues
  • On Alex' issues -- Duane

• Lead AI: Fill in numbers for reduced overhead given overhead
• after bvts 3rd regarding not having to run on reference platform

Over hump of automating

• Some documentation is in process
• Automatic report generation is proceeding.

We are in test pass now Test -- blocking on Monday fixed in latest candidate build -- hope to finish this week. Trace -- Started Monday evening -- plan to finish by next Tuesday

officially TP1 ends on Tuesday

Platform -- started yesterday -- no issues forseen

• automation is helping
