Introduction

Expertiza is a web based open source tool developed and maintained by current and past students of North Carolina State University. Instructors

Problem Statement

The objective for this project is: Integrate Github metrics into Expertiza. The tasks required to complete this were broken down as follows.

  1. Retrieve data on a Git pull request
    1. Calculate meaningful metrics from the data for teams and individual students
    2. Display metrics to instructors
  2. Store metrics in the Expertiza database

Previous Design

Previous work done on this project utilized the Github statistics API, which was unable to retrieve information on individual students. The design was able to accurately fetch and display data covering a team of contributors, but could not create and display individual metrics to instructors.

Proposed Design

The proposed design utilizes the new GraphQL Git API which allows for simple extraction of metrics on a pull request. The API call returns information on multiple commits with only a single fetch command. The returned data is then parsed into team level information and individual level information. Next, the metrics are calculated from the data and displayed to the user.
