Measure Bug Activity

Developers do a lot of work to help with a bug that may not directly lead to fixing the bug. This can include triaging a bug (e.g. set the correct component on the bug, find the right owner for the bug, loop somebody else in to investigate the bug, etc.), requesting more information from the OP, investigating to help the bug owner resolve the bug, etc. We want to be able to identify and measure such activities, so that these efforts can be acknowledged and rewarded.

The user-activity.js script helps measure the bug-activity of a developer in various monorail projects. Example usage:

      nodejs tools/crbug/user-activity.js           \
         -u sadrul@chromium.org,sadrul@google.com   \
         -p chromium,skia,v8,angleproject           \
         -s 2022-01-01

The following command line flags are supported:

  • -u: The user-email(s) for the developers. If the user uses multiple accounts (e.g. @google.com, @chromium.org, etc.), then specify all of them comma-separated.

  • -p: The project(s) the developer participated in. If the developer participated in the bug-tracker for multiple projects (e.g. chromium, angleproject, v8, etc.), then list all of them comma-separated. Default is just chromium.

  • -s: The starting date from when the activities should be counted.

Activity

Following are some notes on how activity is measured:

  • Changing any of the following in a bug counts as an activity:
    • Label
    • Component
    • Owner, cc
    • Status
    • Priority
    • Blocked on / Blocking
  • Leaving a comment on the bug counts as an activity.
  • Starting a pinpoint job for a bug counts as a bug activity.
  • Only one activity is counted for a bug for a contributor per day. To explain:
    • Why per day? Contributors often spend a significant amount of effort resolving a bug spanning across several days. We want to encourage and reward such efforts. So the bug-activity is counted for each day the contributor is active on the bug.
    • Why count only one per day? Sometimes when triaging a bug (or when filing a bug), multiple updates are made to the bug in quick succession (e.g. Oops, forgot to include a component, or cc uberswe@ for real this time, etc.). So to avoid overcounting such activities, only one activity is counted on a bug per day.
  • To avoid overcounting bulk-updates, updates made too close to each other (within seconds) are merged into a single activity.
