| This file describes the coverage tracking script and the coverage dashboard. |
| |
| ABSTRACT: |
| The intention of this small tracking system is to track code coverage data |
| over time. Since code coverage is continuously recomputed on the build bots, |
| the track_coverage.py script is intended to run on the build bot as a cron job |
| and extract the data from there. The dashboard doesn't care how often this |
| script runs, but running each hour should be more than enough. |
| |
| The track_coverage.py script communicates with the dashboard using plain GET |
| requests (that, and POST, are basically the only way to get data into a |
| appengine application such as the dashboard). The dashboard is intented to |
| run on the Google appengine. |
| |
| HOW TO RUN LOCALLY: |
| Follow the following instructions: |
| http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/devenvironment.html |
| The dashboard can be started on 127.0.0.1:8080 using the dev_appserver.py script |
| as described in the above URL (and in the following 'hello world' page). |

| HOW TO DEPLOY: |
