Project Meeting 2017.07.06

Automated Testing and Building

• We’re now automatically testing the framework, modules, and models using Travis CI
• Tests automatically run with every commit and the pass/fail status is at the bottom of the README as rendered by GitHub
• The current Travis build and test script is here, which includes all the steps to install, build, and run all the VE resources
• The build logs, which are helpful when errors happen, are here
• Master (release) branch is now write protected and can only be written to by a pull request

GUI

• GUI broke with the latest revisions to the framework since we changed how the model state object is managed
• Currently working on fixing this + an issue with parsing the model spec tree

RSPM Translation

• Lots of progress - income model re-estimated, multiple updates to supports Liming's model, land use package complete, 5D measures complete, transportation supply package complete, auto ownership model complete
• All these improvements are in VERSPM now
• Using RVMPO as the test
• Needed to create some of the RVMPO test data as well, which took some time

Framework

• Created a name registry for managing module methods across packages

Reviewing VE contributions

• Josh wants to know what he should review
• We discussed the in-development VE review team submittal requirements as what he could also review:
  • Software – module, model, and/or user interface code
  • Tests – sufficient code coverage testing with an included example test data set
  • Documentation – both developer and end-user documentation
  • Methods – description of methods

Next Steps

• Once the GUI is working again, we're going to add automated testing of it as well
• Next VERSPM package is probably autonomous vehicles and car sharing
• Once everything is working and tested, we'll merge to master for a new release
