[Dev] Update on new Results Analysis Engine

[Frank Cohen]

Hi TestMaker Developers:

William, Luis Carlos, Luigi and I had a phone call to review the new  
design document. Download the design document at:

Here were my questions:

Question: Will the Performance Comparison Utility (PCU) continue to  
function after the new Results Analysis package changes?

Answer: Yes, the PCU will continue to function as it does today.

Question: Will I be able to point the new results charting to an  
archived results directory?

Answer: Frank will develop a new user interface to select the source  
results.

Question: Does the new result factory deal with multiple results files?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How will the new Results Analysis package handle very large  
test result files? For instance, a test that runs for 24 hours.

Answer: William and Luis Carlos are considering a summary index  
function so the entire log does not reside in memory.

Question: What is the schedule for rest of the days in this week?

Answer: Luis Carlos started on the changes to the summary schema,  
design of the classes, will start with summary class and tally class.

Our next phone call status update meeting is on Thursday December 20  
at 11 am Pacific time. Please let me know if you would like to  
participate.

-Frank
