Request hosting for Performance Signature Plugin

[Raphael Pionke]

Hi,

this plugin fetches performance values from Dynatrace XML Dashboards during a build and evaluates and compares the result with previous builds and non-functional requirements. This plugin uses user-specified XML Dashboards and PDF detail Reports. Additionally this plugin adds several build steps to trigger the Dynatrace REST interface.

Plugin name: performance-signature-dynatrace

Github ID: rpionke

Repository: https://github.com/T-Systems-MMS/perfsig-jenkins

It would be nice to have it hosted on jekins-ci.

Thanks in advance,

Raphael

There is and existing plugin for Dynatrace, which does the similar thing. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Dynatrace+Plugin

What is the difference between plugins? Would it be possible to merge the functionality?

Hi Oleg,

we know the other Dynatrace plugin and after a long evaluation, we have decided to developed a new plugin with (good) serious reasons

• completely different Workflow (the new plugin consists of several build-steps and a post-processing step)
• both Plugins can only handle Dynatrace as APM Tool, in future plugin versions Dynatrace will be replaced by other APM Tools
  the original Plugin can only handle Dynatrace as APM Tool, the new Plugin is designed to be independent  from a specific APM-Tool (although currently only Dynatrace is supported)
• different approach to gain performance data (the current plugin uses a xml-report, the new uses Dynatrace Rest API)
• code reuse or integration is not imaginable / requires a hugh effort
• the most important thing is; the old Dynatrace plugin can only handle Unit tests, the new plugin can deal with different kinds of tests e.g. performance/load test, interfacetest, ui-test …

I thTo avoid name conflicts the plugin name should be like this: performance-signature

Regards,

Raphael

Any update to this?

Kind regards,

I've added the Dynatrace plugin owner to Cc. It would be great to get his feedback before going forward.

Even if we go forward with a new plugin:
* performance-signature is vague IMHO
* If the plugin is dynatrace-specific, I would prefer to see "dynatrace" in its name

Hi,

It looks like I can't post to Google groups from the work email address I initially used here, sorry about the delay in getting back to you...

- I'm also fine with replacing the current plugin with the new one, as it kind of replaces/augments the existing plugin anyway.

- I agree that the "dynatrace" prefix makes sense in any case.

Hi Oleg and Wolfgang,

thanks Wolfgang for your answer.

We got Dynatrace already in the Plugin title: "Performance Signature with Dynatrace Plugin".

Do we have to update the artifactId, since we use plugin in several environments?

Kind regards,
Raphael

The plugin ID should ideally be close to the display name (as it's used e.g. in JIRA as component), and obvious about what it is. So 'dynatrace' should be in there.

Hey Daniel,

Sorry about the delay, we've developed a lot on the plugin and we're fine with renaming the pluginID to "performance-signature-dynatrace".

The displayname will be changed to "Performance Signature with Dynatrace".

Are you fine with these changes?

[Raphael Pionke]

We pushed our changes in our repo.

Any update to this?

Kind regards,

Raphael
