The BM's work load

I think the BM's work load is hard now. The build job is really a time killer.

Tuesday, I do a test about multi-shadow with a variant. I do have collateral work for shorten test time.

I tested two variant,

The first variant have a normal shadow, and I manully created another shadow for the variant. Then do build and lint check at the same time. (over one hour)

I created two shadows workarea for the second variant. Then do build and lint check at the same time. (One ahd half hour ).

I skiped over the hard ware test because I haven't the hard ware.

Do contsync for the four variant (parallel) use 2 hours, build Use 3 hours. so the test use time about 6 hours. that day, I was over time until PM. when I left, another test building still running.

If BM only check two variant everyday, use two shadow worarea to shorten build time, he totally need 4 hours.

If we build failed, then we shoshould Chek the log, let developers change code. Build again. It will use more than 4 hours. Perhaps 8 or?

One day if we only check two variants, may be the build manager can promote a baseline. but if he had to check more variants, and he only have one computer, it is really hard. time is limited.

If we have 6 variant to test ...... and if they build failed at first ............
