[cdt-test-dev] Scalability Testing Results

[Mathieu Lapensee <lapensee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Scalability testing is completed for
now.  Results were as expected in most part.   If time permits
in CDT version 1.2,  more Scalability testing will be done in the
Search, Code Assist and Managed build area.   

The purpose of Scalability testing is
to determine if CDT can handle large amounts of data in general in many
areas like code, files, projects, directories.   Since the CDT is
targeted to be executed on many platforms such as Solaris and Linux dominated
by telcos,  it is easy to say that the CDT must handle existing large
projects in order for project teams to migrate to the Eclipse/CDT IDE.

Quality Status:   YELLOW

§        What
has been tested for Scalability?
         
      Importing
Large Projects
         
         
    Many files (1000) in one directory
         
              Rose
Real Time Project (large project with many directories (30) and many files
(~5000))
         
              20
Projects in one workspace
         
      File/Project
Management
         
              Opening
large number of files/projects/directories
         
              Closing
large number of files/projects/directories
         
              Deleting
large number files 
         
      Opening/Closing/Editing
a large file (16000 lines)

§        What’s
yet to be tested for Scalability?
         
      Search
         
      Code Assist
         
      Managed Build

§        Results:
         
      Importing Existing Projects worked with no
problems for all platforms
         
      Problems with File/Project Management:
         
         
    Close All on 100 open files locks CDT/Eclipse in
Solaris (40867)
         
         
    Opening 1000 files into view crashes CDT/Eclipse
in all 3 platforms (41011)
         
         
    Close All, Open All, Close All 20 projects locks
CDT/Eclipse in Windows (41021)
         
         
    Noticing that Eclipse in Linux is slow compared to
Solaris and Windows

§        Top
Pain Points
         
      CDT is not
error handling large scale in terms of number of projects and files
         
      Not user
interaction when a “scalability” error occurs

Best regards,

Mathieu
