Another month passes and another release of the
Firmware Test Suite is being prepared. The tool has been growing in functionality (and size!) over time, so I thought I would look at some statistics to see any trends.
There has been a steady growth of the number of authors sending patches to the Firmware Test Suite. Community contributions to a project is a sign that we have buy-in from different parties, so I'm pleased to see contributions from Intel, Linaro and Redhat. Patches are always welcome, send them to
fwts-devel@ubuntu.com for
review and inclusion into the project.
The number of commits is one metric to see if the project is growing healthily. We're adding about 35 patches a month, about 3/4 of which is added functionality, the rest are fixes and general code maintenance.
One more meaningless but interesting metric is code size. I used
sloccount to count the lines of C in the project. We're seeing ~2200 lines of code being added per month, mainly through added test functionality.
Kudos to the Canonical Hardware Enablement firmware folk for wrangling the patches and preparing each FWTS release.
