| [recommenders-dev] [GSoC] Approved data collection weekly report |
Hi,
this is the weekly report or the GSoC project eclipse approved data collection [1]
Project short description: In order to understand how and for which reasons developers are using Eclipse, many Plug-ins want to collect some usage data. The main problem with any data collection technology is privacy, therefore plugins should ask for approval before collecting usage data. The goal of this project is to collect such user approval before sending the data to any external server. Any operation that uploads data must be “opt-in”.
New implemented features:
During the last week i have fixed the Bug, where the user id preference page crash when the “.eclipse” directory is absent [2].
Then i have started writing SWT bot tests for the permissions popup dialog and the preference page. While the first part is almost finished, i am still facing some trouble testing the link between the popup dialog and the preference page.
Tasks for the next week:
I will continue with the UI tests, then i will improve the documentation for the 0.1 release before starting planning the next release.
If you have any question or any description above is not clear enough, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Looking forward to receiving your comments and feedback,
Yasser.
