[Insight-developers] Is the ITK dashboard too green?

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Bill, Matt,

There are many things in ITK to improve beyond just the dashboard warnings. We must balance our goals and time between entirely too many tasks. We have set a goal to maintain an entirely green dashboard of expected builds, and have achieved that. What's next?

There are many bugs that can be addressed (JIRA?). The coverage in many area also needs to be improved.

For example, I found a large number of LabelMap tests not being run, just compiled:
http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/13646/

Or that the Polygon Flat structuring element is erroneous in many cases:
http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/13845/

Or perhaps detecting that filter don't produce monotonic progress?

Those are just some issue I have encountered in the past couple of weeks.

There are plenty of things that can be done to improve ITK beyond reducing obscure warnings, that are transient with compiler versions.

What is the next goal we should tackle? 90% coverage? All critical bugs in JIRA addressed?

However I don't wish to discount the value of tracking down code with undefined results. Or the value of reviewing warning on aggressive compiler flags to look for defects. We must balance our time with what is best for our users and customers.
