Agenda and Results

  • Talk by A. Flaig on "Dynamic Instrumentation in Kieker Using Runtime Bytecode Modification"
  • Christian Wulf: Mockito Mocking framework
  • Gradle-based Kieker build
  • Misc (Roadmap)
    • Christian Wulf working on monitoring component w.r.t. the current issue with separate writer threads for strings and data. When implemented, the changes will have an impact on the API in that (online) readers and writers of different Kieker versions (before/after change) are not compatible. However, there is no impact on already-persisted data (e.g., FS log, database).
    • AIM-based dynamic instrumentation as part of the release. One concern are the dependencies imposed by AIM. We target the integration for upcoming releases: 1.12, 1.13?
    • Integration of TeeTime
      • Requires stable version of TeeTime
      • Requires migration of existing filters
      • Realistic target version probably not before 1.13
    • #1575 Kieker upgrade to Java 1.7. Had a discussion on this based on the existing ticket. We decided that currently, this is not an option. We will re-check periodically based on the requirements of our third-party libraries and the used Java version in production systems (currently a lot of 1.6).
  • GSoC
