Summary0010228: When doing parallel testing CDash reports accumulated test times rather than actual elapsed wall time.
DescriptionWhen doing parallel testing CDash reports the accumulated test time for each test rather than actual elapsed wall time. For example the following dashboard ran tests in parallel with the following output:


99% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 745

Total Test time (real) = 269.66 sec

The following tests FAILED:
        707 - Geovis-TestGeoView (Failed)

   Submission successful

The dashboard on the other hand reports that it took 23.8 minutes to due the testing which is probably the summed up time for each test if they ran serially.

Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationIf I look in the testing xml it does have a start and end time. I suppose that would be a good alternative to calculating the time the tests took rather than summing the elapsed time each test individually?

Zack, I thought we had fixed it. If you fix in CDash CVS please fix also in the 1.6 branch if that doesn't require any changes to the database if that does let me know.

This was fixed back in late September 2009. Are you using CDash 1.6?

This is the VTK dashboard. I am assuming it is using the latest version of CDash.
