New in Awesome Graphs: Analyzing Pull Requests Resolution Time, Monitoring Repository Indexing, and More
November 1, 2018
#Analytics#News#Bitbucket
6 min
Our app Awesome Graphs for Bitbucket visualizes statistics of commits, pull requests, and lines of code helping to monitor and analyze code development and code review.
During the past year we’ve added new great features and made significant improvements. Let us tell you how you can benefit from them.
Pull requests’ resolution time distribution
We’ve created a new pull requests report – Resolution Time Distribution.
This report helps you to answer such questions:
How long does it usually takes to resolve pull requests?
Are there more pull requests with a long or short resolution time?
What is an expected resolution time for future pull requests?
What pull requests of the period had the shortest/longest resolution times?
How long it took to resolve a particular pull request?
In the report you will see pull requests grouped by time taken to resolve them (merge or decline).
You will see median, 25 and 75 percentile of pull requests’ resolution time. This data can help you to estimate resolution time of future pull requests.
For any time interval (blue bar on the chart) you will be able to see a list of all pull requests with their resolution time and reviewers. For more detailed analysis you can easily switch to a particular pull request to see code changes and discussion during review.
We’ve created powerful tools helping to administer Awesome Graphs. These tools are helpful when monitoring Awesome Graphs performance during repository indexing and troubleshooting app related issues.
JMX Metrics
Performance of Awesome Graphs can be monitored via JMX. It provides administrators with the way to understand what is happening in the app. You can estimate how much time repository indexing will take, see if there are any issues while indexing repositories or refs, monitor resource consumption.
More information in logs
Awesome Graphs creates comprehensive logs. It helps to easily investigate app related issues.
In Bitbucket UI and in support zip admins can see information about data indexed by Awesome Graphs:
total number of indexed contributors
total number of indexed commits
number of repositories in indexing queue
Detailed information about repository indexing is recorded in awesome-graphs.log file located in the Bitbucket home directory.
Alerts to admins
If a repository could not be indexed admins will get a notification via Bitbucket alerts. It helps to quickly detect and solve problems.
We’ve significantly improved performance of Awesome Graphs during repository indexing:
Commit data are indexed in batches to decrease memory usage.
While indexing forks only unique commits are stored in the database. If the same commit exists both in a fork and an original repository, it is not duplicated. This change helps to improve performance and reduce database size. For one of our customers with 10.000+ repositories the size of the table was reduced by four times.
Awesome Graphs uses adaptive throttling. With it Bitbucket examines the total physical memory on the machine and determines a maximum ticket number that the machine can safely support. This approach improves the system performance during repository indexing. Learn more about adaptive throttling.
We are always happy to receive feedback from customers. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to suggest new features.

The Linked Pull Requests app provides you with easily visible links between related code changes you can have at hand. It adds the Create link button to every pull request you can use to choose the required pull request from other project or repository.
The pull requests you have chosen will be shown as the links with their status information on the sidebar and you can easily navigate between them.
Stride is a platform for workplace communication that can be tailored to all your requirements. Practically all Atlassian products have integration with Stride. Now you can receive updates about your Bamboo build results right in Stride with the help of Notifications from Bamboo to Stride.
All you need to do is to get your access token and add this app to Stride. After that just add the Stride notifications to your plan configuration in Bamboo. That’s it. Now you will receive Bamboo build notifications sent directly into the required Stride room providing you with information about the success or failure of your builds.

Case Study: How to Evaluate Code Quality in Bitbucket
March 21, 2018
#Analytics#How To#Bitbucket#Case Study
7 min
This plugin helps us in Code Frequency to evaluate code quality and project history. Contributors evaluate the code committed by each person in a sprint and we use the Activity stream to show all commits and pull requests of the selected time span as the activity stream with links to associated Jira issues, subtasks, and backlogs.
Hemanth Dharavath, Apptium
Apptium Technologies, our customer, is a technology and management consulting company that helps global broadband, wireline, and wireless communications service providers boost their productivity. This company has offices in the USA, Canada, and India.
The team of Apptium Technologies actively uses Atlassian Bitbucket for team collaboration. This way they can build and ship software to their clients that use Apptium application as Platform as a service (PAAS). They decided to extend the Bitbucket Server functionality by installing our Awesome Graphs app.
In fact, our customer has around 25 projects going parallel. Each project has its own dev, QA, production environments with around 15 repositories. All team members use the Awesome Graphs app to track and monitor their projects and repositories with visualized statistics.
Let’s see what features and capabilities of this app the Apptium team uses most.
Activity tracking and reporting
As an Agile software development team, Apptium wants to track down issues and daily updates of the tasks assigned in their sprints. For instance, to achieve this goal, they use the Activity graph. It shows the existing commits and pull requests through the selected time span at the project level, featuring activity in all project repositories.
Moreover, our client can also check the activity stream with the links to the associated Jira issues, sub-tasks, and backlogs. This way, they can easily track daily updates for their current Jira tasks.
Contribution tracking
The Contributors graph helps the Apptium team to evaluate the code committed by each person in a sprint. They can compare the input from different team members with a help of a summary graph of the contributions made by all developers. In addition, they evaluate the number of commits and lines of code added and deleted by each developer.
Using this graph, the Apptium team can monitor the team’s performance and analyze the critical points throughout the year.
Code quality analysis
The Code Frequency graph allows Apptium to evaluate the project history and code quality. The team members can watch the dynamics of their projects in terms of lines of code.
As a result, the Apptium team can have a birds-eye view of the whole project from its start to the current week in one graph.
Commit frequency evaluation
Apptium Technologies also uses the Commits graph to pull out the report on commits made to repositories every week (each bar represents one week). So they can compare their estimates with the real work done and plan their work on the projects ahead.
This useful graph provides our client with an overview of their team activity.
Challenges and benefits
Awesome Graphs for Bitbucket allowed the customer to get the detailed visualized statistics of their team performance and address the following challenges:
analyze the critical points along the year
track activity and progress of the team
watch their projects evolve
capture trends and identify bottlenecks
Apptium Technologies now can rapidly evaluate the performance of their development, QA, and production teams. The insights they receive using our handy tool definitely help them deliver the best service to their customers all over the world.
