| Summary | 0010170: Automatic estimation of TIMEOUT times for test based on statistics of previous runs |
| Description | CDash currently stores statistics on the amount of time that it take to run a test in a particular machine. In this feature request, a machine (or its manager) could request from CDash a file with these time statistics in order to use them for computing TIMEOUT values on a test-by-test basis. |
| Additional Information | Currently maintainer of dashboard machines do not have a clear reference for how to set up their TIMEOUT values. In most cases they are set up to generously large values in order to avoid problems, but when a machine administrator has to fine tune this values, it has to do so on a set of trial and error experiments that can take several days.
CDash already stores statistics on the actual time that it takes to run a tests in a given machine. If that data is made available to CTest (upon request), then CTest could be modified in order to fine tune the estimation of TIMEOUT ona test-by-test basis. |
