Bamboo OnDemand C++ Coverage/Profile reporting and Release Management

Matt Clarkson

We have set up Bamboo OnDemand with custom agents. We primarily target C++ so have written a cppunit JunitOutputter Class that gives us some great integration. If anyone is interested in the Junit class I can post the patch - gives much better output than XSLT conversion from unit.

We would like to do more automatic integration such as coverage and profile support. I could possibly write a gcov to NCover covert to but was wondering if anything will change with the impending 4.1 update?

Also we need to have all our releases going through bamboo with correct automatic branching. Should I wait until 4.1 before implementing this into our build system?

No gcov support is planned for 4.1/4.2. If you want to have coverage support on OnDemand, converting the coverage into a format known to Bamboo is the only option.

If you're talking about implementing build workflow with branches, you should definitely wait and see what 4.1 has to offer out of the box (or download a trial of Standalone release).
