Result Viewer appearance issues #14

Closed van-smith closed 13 years ago

van-smith commented 13 years ago

These are currently low priority items, but should be addressed before final release of OPBM.

  1. There are no visual clues that results extend beyond the bottom of the window. Scroll-bars would address this.
  2. Window elements do not adjust to window resizing operations -- either make the window a fixed size or readjust elements to fit new window size.
  3. No timing data is accessible: being able to switch to a table view of results + timings would be very nice. In fact, if we had to chose between the two, the table view is probably preferable.
  4. Expanding a node at the bottom of the screen gives no visual feedback. Shifting the contents of the window upwards a line or two on node expansion would be a solution.
  5. Double-clicking a node does nothing. Double-clicking a node should probably expand/collapse it.
  6. Provide "save to image" function: snapshot the Result Viewer and allow the image to be saved as BMP or PNG.
  7. A failure description should be provided by default when runs fail.

Some items we've discussed that are in the works for future releases:

1) Will implement. 2) Will implement window resizing. 3) Scoring solutions are not finalized yet. Currently uses an average and geometric mean. Solutions we've talked about include a toggle for access to timing data and normalized values. Comparing a machine's results to a separate machine's results (and not just the baseline machine) has also been proposed. 4) Will implement. 5) Can implement. I had in mind double-clicking would launch an XML results viewer showing the contents of the run at that point, allowing for drill-down abilities into the raw data. 6) Will implement. Double-clicking the graph will bring up an enhanced graph viewer, which will have those features. 7) Will implement through a "See Failures" button, which will enumerate them and provide links to the raw results.xml for inspection.

In addition, future planned items not noted here: 8) The enhanced graph viewer mentioned in #6. 9) The name and date/time of the run will appear as a banner in the graph area. 10) If it was an official or trial run, it will appear as well. 11) Filters will be properly assigned in later scripts. Today there are placeholders but they are not correct. 12) The graphing system will need to be modified to accommodate atoms with many worklets. 13) The line between suites/scenarios/molecules/atoms and their component tags/tabs needs to be user-adjustable side-to-side to see longer names 14) Export button on results viewer is one of three planned buttons, to include a text export, an export to CSV file, and a full report in RTF format

The Result Viewer should report the overall run time along with the average run time for each iteration. This info should appear next to the score.

Originally tagged enhancement and future feature. Working on now.

The Result Viewer has been greatly improved and functionality is adequate for the 9.19 release. A few changes were not made like save to image, but these will be compiled into a new issue for the October release.
