Title Automated Build Status Tracking System

Presenter Li Zhang

Advisor Dr. Turner

Abstract

This project concerns the creation of an automated build status tracking 
system for the platform team at ESRI.  The current method of status 
tracking is daily manual input by the builders.  This can be a tedious and
time consuming process.  It also lends itself to inaccuracies and missed or
delayed status updates.  On the other hand, the new system automated 
updates the daily build status for all products and platforms. The new 
system stores all the information in the database, and keeps track of the 
history of the build status.  In addition, this new system provides a 
serial of web-based tools to manage the team members, build and build's 
status. In this internship project, I applied the technologies I learned 
from the school to a real-world project, and practiced things like the 
database design, web-server setup and management, and most important of all
how to develop a web-application using cutting edge technologies as PHP, 
AJAX, JavaScript and Perl.
