- TODO list for mauve
- ---=== o O o ===---
-
-
-1 Unit test.
--------------
-
-We need a lot more. Currently, the testing is woefully inadequate. In
-specific:
-
-1.1 test_cases.rb
-
- This needs a little work so that the tests in there run faster. The
-test currently run in nearly four minutes which is too long. The
-main problem appears to be the starting and stopping of the server.
-Using a server for all the tests should work provided that we remove the
-fake alert created by each test in the database in the teardown method.
-
- This could be linked to 2.3
-
-1.2 The rest...
-
- Too many classes have no unit tests. This has to change.
-
- Everything new must have unit test associated with it.
-
-
-2 Code refactor.
------------------
-
- The idea here is to have a mauve server that receive new Alerts and
-process them as state machines. A brain within this should determine
-which Person gets a notification. This brain needs to be accessible via
-the UI since events within the UI will impact the Alert -- such as
-acknowledge events.
-
- The UI should be separate from the mauve server. The UI either needs
-a hook into the backend database or send updated alerts. I prefer the
-latter.
-
-
-2.1 Timers class.
-
- This needs ripping out and replacing with event machine.
-
-
-2.2 Alert class.
-
- This needs ripping out and replacing with a state machine. Something
-like http://slagyr.github.com/statemachine/ maybe useful.
-
- A brain need creating as well.
-
- Mauvesend may need to be refactored to conform to the state machine
-model. It should not be much work but will require major work to deploy
-on all systems.
-
- This is lots of work.
-
-
-2.3 Configuration class.
-
- Nothing here is essential but would be nice to have.
-
- This is fine but needs more error checking of the loaded configuration
-file.
-
- A method to reload the configuration file gracefully -- aka without a
-restart. This could be linked to 1.1.
-
-
-2.4 UI, the web interface.
-
- This needs ripping out and separated as a new process. We can have a
-thread in the main mauve server process write the date to a file every X
-seconds. The UI can display this date and thus any check can be done on
-that date. If it is older than X, then the main server has stopped and
-we should alert everybody.
-
-
-
-3 General work.
-----------------
-
-3.1 Move to apt-ruby.
-
- We must get ride of the external directories and move fully to
-apt-ruby. This should lead to better deployment on Debian.
-
-
-3.2 Rubinius.
-
- Make sure we can run the code in Rubinius. Not urgent until the GIL
-is fixed. Note that this may entails some new code for the XMPP
-notification class.
-
- I tried to do this on Tue Jan 18 with rbx-head hydra (no GIL devel
-branch) and it did not work well at all. The unit test ran slower than
-with mri and failed on multiple occations (140 tests, 248 assertions, 0
-failures, 122 errors, 0 pendings, 0 omissions, 0 notifications 47.8571%
-passed). I suspect rr mock and log4r gems are not playing well with
-rbx as most errors were due to interactions between those two. It could
-be that the rbx-head version is really not ready to be used in
-production.
-
-
-3.3 Documentation.
-
- We need some more in code documentation although it is now adequate.
-
- User documentation, especially with regards to the configuration file,
-need a lot of work. Not sure where is the best: Redmine wiki, Bytemark
-wiki, text file in repository...
-
-
-
-
-4 New features.
----------------
-
-4.1 XMPP/email interface.
-
- The ability to manipulate Alerts via XMPP and eamil.
-
-
-4.2 Suppress Alerts.
-
- The ability to suppress alerts for a short time.
-
-
-4.3 Notes for Alerts.
-
- The ability to create notes on alerts.
-
-
-4.4 Better alert history.
-
- Either just cosmetic or require code changes to have a better timeline
-of alerts status.
-
-
-4.5 Really SMTP
-
- Move new smtp code so that we do not use the local mailer but send the
-email directly. The code (with documentation and tests) is written but
-not incorporated yet.
