Renesas builds fixed in CI	GDP-561 - Getting issue details... STATUS	01 Mar 2017	Pull Request on github can now be automatically tested for build failures, again.

Activity Summary

Life-cycle integration work continues, Pull-request reviews, UI testing investigation, Google Summer of Code activities.

Zeeshan
- Meetings and discussions, as usual (actually more than usual this week).
- Broken Porter builds on Go.CD: GDP-561 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Reviewed many pull requests.
- Helped Taha with figuring out tools and plan for automated UI testing: GDP-563 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Writing a script to make it easy to update submodules in main repository.
Viktor
- Working with the GDP-HMI making it register as a NodeStateShutdown consumer at NodeStateManager. This is a prerequisite for making the applications that are run by the GDP-HMI NodeState aware. GDP-570 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Trying out working with the SDE and pushing to target. TOOL-60 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Taha
- Doing research on behave + dogtail for automated GUI testing.
- Started Amazon and Google Cloud services evaluation accounts.
- Raspberyy Pi setup for pipelines view on a TV screen.
Changhyeok
- Update GDP to baseline 12 in forked repo (qemux86-64) and need to modify commit messages. GDP-550 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Zeeshan working on pull requests, meeting and discussions
Automated UI testing, testing python-behave for use with Qt and QML. Results positive on the desktop, question on how it works on the target. Specific tickets created.
Squish examined as well but that requires a commercial license.
GENIVI’s GDP selected for Summer of Code, two students have already expressed interest.
Changyeok mentioned that there ought to be guidelines for meta-genivi-dev updates. Important to specify changes, Zeeshan working on a script with a commit for all the changes but deals with only one submodule
Squashing commits might be good too before pushing
Zeeshan will be away end of March
Viktor working on Node State Shutdown controller, part of GDP’s HMI that exercises lifecycle components
Taha working with a natural language called Gerkin and working with doctail, basically testing tools for the HMI in python
There may be some work already done with automated testing, Zeeshan to check with Codethink
Keeping the Go agents synched is a priority
Discussion on different cloud services and the steps being taken to use them
If anyone has any more ideas for GSoC projects please let Zeeshan know but we already have a lot projects or at least a sufficient number. Still looking for mentors. Projects can have multiple mentors.
Testing the SDE -- there are unassigned tickets in TOOL-60 that the GDP team may be able to take up.
TOOL-60 shared
Discussion on an issue in the Renesas Porter build

Discussion on unifying board support packages for Renesas hardware in AGL and GENIVI. GENIVI working to support a single BSP.
Further discussion was had in the BIT meeting today
Steve spoke with Claus-Peter about the timing for a full scan of the GDP using blackduck tooling. Do we want to do that scan early, middle, or after release?
Gunnar: well, we have two different aspects; what Yocto tells us and what blackduck tells us.
Stephen: scanning does turn up upstream issues.
Steve: We’re looking to have a cost-effective use of the blackduck tooling, hence the original question.
Consensus seems to be that we’ll use Yocto flags and fossology to do due diligence before release and once there is a frozen release or release candidate then we’ll do the blackduck scan.
Discussion on manning a “GDP experience” space at the upcoming AMM.
Leon working on bringing aktualizr to GDP. Planning to fix based on suggestions from Changyeok.
