Yocto Web Hob Design 0.0 — Archived

Interaction design requirements gathering for WebHob 1.3

Here's

What's New

Deployment

• Write images to removable media easily to test the image on the real hardware (this can be hard to do manually).

Dashboard

• Able to see the status of the build in real time to know what the progress is at any time.
• Able to see an overview of current and recent activities when I first login to see if I need to do something again or what went wrong.

Projects

• Sharing images and configurations with other team members
• Able to share packages with other team members so they don't need to build them again.
• Create package groups by selecting packages individually so other team members don't have to.
• Control how much of the available server resources each user can use so that there is fair sharing.
• Invite guest users so that guests can login.
• Reserve available bitbake for user’s requests to fairly distribute tasks.
• Randomly select one bitbake so that the user can configure the server
• Create package groups by selecting packages individually so other team members don't have to.

Packages

• Share packages with other team members

Notifications

• Send failure output (logs, other relevant info) to a 3rd party
• Get notifications (email?) when a build completes
• Schedule builds
• Schedule builds so that I don't have to run them immediately.

Build history

• See the history of my builds - history is classified per project.

Configuration

• Name my images for the same configuration so that I can easily identify them (but do not use naming for keeping separate configs)
• Have multiple configurations within each project so I can have similar settings for different target machines for the same project.
• Able to control the level of customisation available to team members

Templates

• Asked to save a template if the build was successful
• Manage (delete) saved templates

Build an image

• Start from previous successful steps which does not have a build yet (history max 5)
• Download the image (URL provided)

Create user

• Create Web Hob users and give them access to projects

Login

• Actions to be recorded against individual users so that there is an audit trail.

Archiving

• Archive a finished projects

Notifications

• When bitbake are all reserved and a build request is submitted with build configurations into the build queue able to notify the user when the build is complete with an image URL or build failure with logs
