References & Milestones

when looking at results, it is important to compare them to a reference. It could to a previous version, results from a benchmark

Comparing versus a reference​

In results pages, QA-Board always compares the commit you selected (labeled new) versus a reference (ref):

new-vs-reference

The reference is by default the latest commit from the project's reference branch:

qaboard.yaml
project:
    reference_branch: master

To change the selected new or ref commit, you can edit the commit ID field in the navbar. Hovering it gives you a menu with other options:

tip

Clicking on the branch name in the navbar will select the latest commit on the branch.

Project References​

You can also list in qaboard.yaml other versions as milestones.

""qaboard.yaml"
project:
    reference_branch: master
    milestones:
    - release/v1.0.0      # tag
    - feature/better-perf # branch
    - e45123a3565         # commit id

Defining Milestones from QA-Board​

Every user can save milestones with the “star” icon in each commit navbar:

save-as-milestone

If needed, you can give them a name and leave notes:

milestone-details

You'll now be able to select them in the commit ID hover menu.

tip

Milestones can be shared with everybody - or kept private.
