Introducing the TYPO3 projects pear.typo3.org, ci.typo3.org and metrics.typo3.org
Talk about lessons we learned and what's the Roadmap for improving TYPO3 Core and TER quality.
3. Dowloads & Feedback
I am listening to you on twitter
@typo3_ci / @ctrabold
Ask!
It‘s okay to ask :)
More details in the workshop on Saturday
01:30PM in Room 20.401

6. What started one year ago
ci.typo3.org
6
At TYPO3 Conference 2010 in Frankfurt
7. Automate tests on your code
Use CPU power to help you
Providing reports and code metrics
Check for
Syntax errors
Design aws
Copy & Paste code
We do check the code of more than 1300 Extensions from forge.typo3.org regulary
8. Reports are a good start
for good better quality.

Even a rough Report helps you to get quicker into the code.
But it turns out that the metrics are hard to find on ci.typo3.org and rather boring.
so we introduced Sonar for displaying metrics.
Sonar is a tool specialized on displaying metrics.
9. Project
components
pear.typo3.org
ci.typo3.org
metrics.typo3.org
Now we have these components:
10. pear.typo3.org - The repository
Provides TYPO3 Coding Guidelines as
phpCodeSniffer Rules
Provides a standardized interface for deploying
packages through PEAR Channel
Co

niff
er
12. ci.typo3.org - The worker
Does the boring jobs over and over again
Gets triggered by Commits and new les
Does lint & testing
Generates metrics
Has slaves

18. Challenges
Understand the tools
Load testing
Gather all extensions
What happend in this one year?
We created a very big Jenkins installation; Learned a lot about Chef, Jenkins, Groovy, Sonar,
Metrics... There were some wrong paths (we don't need documentation on ci.typo3.org for
example)
23. Core Jobs
Focus on Testing
Deliver a stable product
Answers Question: How stable is our product?
Metrics are nice to have
24. Roadmap for core jobs
Find Syntax Errors
Sniff Code against TYPO3 CGL
Support Reviews on Gerrit
25. Next tasks for core jobs
Run UnitTests for JavaScript and PHP
on each commit
Check for Regressions
Run User Acceptance Tests every night
Test Core in different versions with different OS
and DB-Backends
Long term: Packaging
26. Example Regression Test
Feature: Perform a search in the introduction package
Scenario: Visit Website
Given I am on homepage
When I fill in "spSearch" with "TYPO3"
And I click on image "spSearchGo"
Then I should see "Your search: TYPO3"
And I should see "Results: 10"
Everybody can contribute tests
27. Extension Jobs
Focus on code metrics
Know what's going on in TER
Testing is on developer side!
28. Roadmap for extension jobs
Check for Duplicated Code
Detect Anti-Patterns and security aws
Support Security Team in nding code aws
Next:
Integrate all extensions from TER
Answers Question: How healthy is TER?
29. TER Karma is
TYPO3 Karma
Everybody can publish extenstions
TER is world writeable
TER is Userland with a huge unknown code base
… and Security issues
TER can have bad influence on TYPO3-Karma
32. Find such issues early
http://twitter.com/#!/xperseguers/status/87958204398583808
33. Mark extensions as "imcompatible"
http://twitter.com/#!/xperseguers/status/80213031602225152
or provide a fix!
34. Benefits
Get trending graphs for TYPO3 codebase
Numbers make marketing guys happy, too!
See that Code gets better … or worse.
Metrics != everything, but a lot
We need experience interpreting the numbers. Tweak. Optimize. But it will help.
- encouraging devs?
36. Use case: It's TYPO3 bugday and you have 2 hours time to work on code.
Which extension would you choose to work on? Hints: take a look on metrics.typo3.org
37. Get overview of Extensions
Provide constructive feedback
http://www. ickr.com/photos/69er/329057062/
Change the perspective!
Get back control.
38. Tell me: How
healthy is TYPO3?
Next conference we have real numbers ;-)

39. Want to help?
Join the workshop!
Saturday 01:30PM
Room 20.401
Nice to have: Unix / MacOS, Ruby, Groovy, Java; Admin for typo3.org?
Todos: unpack T3X files for TER; Provide WebInterface for querying forge extensions
