Meeting Notes

  • Status Round:
    • Mood of the team: mixed feelings, currently worries about service problems
  • 1.0.1 release:
    • some things fixed in infrastructure, but still a few challenges to get to 1.0.1 in this regard
  • wikipedia report about productivity:
    • AI can cost you also more time than otherwise in certain situations and beware of privacy
    • AI usage needs to be as documented as copying foreign code/ideas etc.
  • UI presentation from Maiia/Moritz postponed to next week
  • Ben's talk postponed because he's not here
  • devcontainer cannot run e2e, not needed
  • Chris's Talk: "Developer Perspective of E2E Tests":
    • E2E tests verify our system functionality from star to finish of processes
    • good E2E progress in Permaplant
    • tbd: coverage on "Done" Use Cases
    • E2E still needs fine-tuning for more stability
    • the tests won't run in devcontainer -> rely on local development utilizing some cleanup scripts to keep the tests clean
    • Behavior Driven Development and Page Object Pattern are used to design and write E2E tests
      • code is written in python e2e
    • Debugging is done via test-report/report.html
      • generated test videos (should use --slowdown)
      • trace files,
      • interactive browser (use --headed to do that)
    • MR !2100 is currently in progress to finalize a new e2e workflow
    • Questions from Markus:
    • "How can we track test coverage?":
      • Currently this is tracked rather manually
      • We currently don't have scenarios planned in the use cases (conceptual difference -> hard to translate), but if that is changed we could automate the coverage calculation
      • Everyone should write manual tests and Alfons focuses on E2E
      • Manual test cases are perceived as generally easy to write
  • Survey:
    • 150 (most of them completed) responses so far, a lot of valuable feedback
    • Alfons is currently writing an R script for statistical analysis
  • Guided tour:
    • Guided tour matters are in MR template already and the label is created, which means that the Guided Tour is fully active now
  • Perma Verein News:
    • License is currently in the works, also some feedback in the survey about the License
    • Verein is now officially founded, two employees
    • little tour over PermaplanT next time for employees:
      • think about a little mini-mini-presentation to show Anna and Eszter about what they're doing -> it shall be very short, be creative
      • ideas:
        • guided tour and survey (alfons),
        • read-only mode in backend (justus),
        • project statistics (liza)
        • checkmk (patrick)
  • development board
    • Johannes: basically same as last time
    • Hannes: blocked on pve install which he's also doing, and fix nextcloud to make the switch on friday
    • Alfons: currently blocked on baselayer MR because of new nextcloud version not here yet, otherwise good progress
    • Chris: "issue-confirmed" labeled issues that he worked on moved to current-sprint
    • Justus: most issues currently in review, some issue reviews/merges blocked by CI
    • Liza: no questions
    • Moritz: ssh problems with testing touch UI
    • Maiia: blocked by the CI pipelines not running
    • Patrick: working on fixing the CI pipelines, restoring from backup is needed
    • for all: make sure to make reviews in the submissions repo, send out the surveys
