And waste precious space... But it is the way if we find a way to cope with serveral results per Windows version.
Not really wasting, it shows we are _missing_ important tests. I would suggest we collapse the tests for the same version is the same column. The columns should be:
Win95, Win98, NT3, NT4, Win2K, XP, Server2K3, Wine
Various smaller versions/service packs/etc of the above should be collapsed in the same column. Hence my colouring suggestion: if all versions fail, things are not good (red), if some pass we aren't in such a bad shape afterall (yellow), if all pass we're golden (er, green :)).
I suggest the cells be coloured green, yellow and red.
I dropped yellow, the cell contains the number of errors, and is always clickable. Have a look. But if you want to put it on WineHQ, the color scheme may have to change.
Looks good, we can worry about the color scheme later.
Anyway, what I really care about is functionality. Does it have everything we need? Is it convenient to use?
It is getting there. Some comments:
1. What is the "20030829" link in the column. I'd move it out of there somewhere before the table, the clomuns are busy as they are, and it's the same across all of them.
2. What is the "version" link for. Maybe that should list all the various versions that were tested for that OS.
3. What is the (1) mean? What is it good for?
4. What does "failed" and "N/C" mean? Maybe they should be links as well, explaining the problem.
5. I really think we should have empty columns for OS we did not receive tests for.
6. For "green" tests, it would be nice if we open a small popup instead of going to another page, it's just too little information.
7. We should eventually link back to a master page listing all the previous results. Maybe a "prev"/"next" link on the page would be nice as well. Kinda tricky to implement next though... Maybe through some CGI, something like results?dir=next&curr=20030829, this one looks it up, and does a redirect.
8. The "dll:test" thing should maybe be a hyperlink to the cvsweb archive or better yet to the LXR-based tree so than you get the test when you click on it.
9. Very nice! It looks really good!
