New Features & Improvements#

  • Optimized Metrics Calculation: Significantly improved metrics calculation performance with a materialized view. Metric updates are now scheduled, and users can adjust the update interval using the DRILL_SCHEDULER_REFRESH_VIEWS_INTERVAL_IN_MINUTES environment variable.
  • Trend Analysis for Builds: Introduces tracking of testing and coverage changes across multiple application versions, providing deeper insights into long-term testing trends.
  • Recommended Tests: Enables test recommendations via a CI/CD plugin for Gradle and Maven, as well as an API endpoint. Supports precise test selection based on tags and criteria. See more in the Test Recommendations section.
  • Test-Centric Metrics Dashboard: Added a dedicated dashboard offering a deeper view into test sessions, launches, and corresponding metrics from the test suite perspective.
  • Metabase Dashboards Migration Image:
    • Changed versioning schema from v* to 0.9.* to match other Drill4J components
    • Created dedicated Docker image to supply migration for Metabase-based dashboards. Users no longer need to download migration files manually - the whole process is automated.
    • WARNING: all customizations to previously existing dashboards will be wiped upon update, as the tables are replaced before migration is applied. All Drill4J data and metrics are preserved.
