HudsonInNetBeansUI
Continuous Integration UI in NetBeans IDE
Use Case: The user wants to setup continuous build for the application she develops in NetBeans IDE.
Scenario: The user invokes a "New Continuous Build..." menu item which brings up a "New Continuous Build" dialog box where the user specifies necessary details for creating a Kenai hosted continuous build for a particular NetBeans project. Upon finishing the dialog box a build item is added into the Kenai window and testing build is started.
Use Case: The user has commited changes into the source code repository and wants to be notified in case the continuous build or tests fail.
Scenario: A notification bubble pops up from the status line in case the user is a potential breaker of the build. The user clicks the "details" link in the popup which opens up an Output tab showing the build results and source code changes included in the build. From there, the user can click the file links or "diff" links to get to the source code.
Use Case: The user wants to be informed about broken repository in general so that she can defer her own commit (testing build).
Scenario: A broken build notification icon shows up in the status line without popping up the bubble if the user hasn't committed anything to the build.
Use Case: The user may want to check the source code changes for any continuous build, even if the build/test system doesn't indicate any problems with the build.
Scenario: In the Kenai window, the user clicks the link next to the build she is interested in. It opens the Output window tab with build results and list of source code changes.
