Hi,
Antonio proposed a patch that sets default data retention policy to 180 days. It can be changed for each project in qa-reports separately (extended or shortened). We don't have an option to keep the data forever. IMHO this is a good idea, but I wanted to ask whether you have a need to keep your results forever.
I don't need to keep my results forever. But what would be nice is to be able to keep 180 days OR n sets of data.
Similar item here, what I do need is to keep iterave data sets from each releae of the ERP. This doesn't mean that we need all test runs, just the final tests, for each server platfrom, for each release of the ERP.
I understand that this will make things more complex, but that said, this is a complex issue and just having X days worth of data is not going to be useful, as I am sure you can understand.
+1 for the being able to set a size.
Even if we do't want to save results forever, 180 days seems to be far too short. In our PMWG case, It seems reasonable to keep data as long as the tested kernel is maintained so we can make comparison across the whole life. We are more in the range of 2 years and even 6 years as announced for v4.4 at last connect But we probably don't want to keep all results but only a subset of them
This way, release jobs, that only gets run once per month, for example, could keep a history of the project over a longer period of time.
+1
Also, what is the driver here, is this just a storage issue, or are you collecting so much data that you are impacting perf on squad it self?
