Counts the number of people and organisations who commented on other people’s patches (by counting the <code>Reviewed-by</code> attributes) in the selected time period. Allows to filter by developer (e-mail address and e-mail domain).

=== Use case: Identify Imbalances between reviewers and contributors ===

Shows the evolution of the patches posted over time. Allows to create a time filter.

==== <code>Top People</code> and <code>Domain Imbalance Analysis</code> ====

Over the selected time period, the following fields are aggregated per person or domain * '''Balance''': Difference between patches posted and and comment activity. A positive number implies that the person or organisation comments more than she posts patches. * '''Patches''': Number of patches posted * '''Reviews''': Number of <code>Reviewed By</code> flags

=== Use case: Identify post-ack comments on patches ===

==== <code>Evolution Comments Activity (no patchseries, no patches)</code> ====

Shows the evolution of comments made on patches (both real and self-comments) over time. Allows to create a time filter.

==== <code>Top People</code> and <code>Domain Commenting on Patches</code> ====

Over the selected time period, the following fields are aggregated per person or domain * '''Comments''': The number of review comments on other people’s patches. * '''Post ACK comments''': The number of comments made after a patch has been ACK’ed

=== Use case: Drill into Review activity information ===

The following widgets are of particular interest to code submitters, reviewers and maintainers. A similar view, which is optimised to identifying which code reviews are almost complete are visible in the <code>Backlog</code> and <code>Data-Explorer</code> panels.

Shows the evolution of review related e-mail activity over time. Allows to create a time filter.

==== <code>Evolution Patch Series (no patches, no comments)</code> ====

Shows the evolution of patch series posted over time. Allows to create a time filter.

==== <code>Patch Series</code> ====

Lists the patch series in an exportable table that satisfy selected filters.

Lists emails that set the <code>Reviewed-by</code> flag that satisfy selected filters.

The Xen project has developed a code review Dashboard in collaboration with Bitergia. There are two variants of this dashboard

This document provides a version of the documentation for the*user version* of the dashboard, that is editable and easily consumable

Basic Concepts

Panels

The Xen Project Code Review dashboard has 4 panels: One for documentation, a Community Panel, a Performance Panel and a Backlog Panel.

Community Panel

In this panel, several widgets are grouped by use-case.

Use case: Identify top reviewers (for both individuals and companies)

Evolution 'Reviewed-by' flag (no patchseries, no patches)

Shows the evolution of the Reviewed-by flag over time. Allows to create a time filter.

Top People and Domain Reviewing Patches

Counts the number of people and organisations who commented on other people’s patches (by counting the Reviewed-by attributes) in the selected time period. Allows to filter by developer (e-mail address and e-mail domain).

Use case: Identify Imbalances between reviewers and contributors

Evolution Patches (no patchseries, no comments)

Shows the evolution of the patches posted over time. Allows to create a time filter.

Top People and Domain Imbalance Analysis

Over the selected time period, the following fields are aggregated per person or domain * Balance: Difference between patches posted and and comment activity. A positive number implies that the person or organisation comments more than she posts patches. * Patches: Number of patches posted * Reviews: Number of Reviewed By flags

Use case: Identify post-ack comments on patches

Evolution Comments Activity (no patchseries, no patches)

Shows the evolution of comments made on patches (both real and self-comments) over time. Allows to create a time filter.

Top People and Domain Commenting on Patches

Over the selected time period, the following fields are aggregated per person or domain * Comments: The number of review comments on other people’s patches. * Post ACK comments: The number of comments made after a patch has been ACK’ed

Use case: Drill into Review activity information

The following widgets are of particular interest to code submitters, reviewers and maintainers. A similar view, which is optimised to identifying which code reviews are almost complete are visible in the Backlog and Data-Explorer panels.

Evolution Email Activity (patchseries, patches, comments)

Shows the evolution of review related e-mail activity over time. Allows to create a time filter.

Evolution Patch Series (no patches, no comments)

Shows the evolution of patch series posted over time. Allows to create a time filter.

Patch Series

Lists the patch series in an exportable table that satisfy selected filters.

Reviews (using Reviewed-by flag)

Lists emails that set the Reviewed-by flag that satisfy selected filters.

Comments

Lists emails comments that satisfy selected filters.
