• How Piwik uses Travis CI to deliver a reliable analytics platform to the community

  26 mai 2014, par Matthieu Aubry — Development, Meta

  In this post, we will explain how the Piwik project uses continuous integration to deliver a quality software platform to dozens of thousands of users worldwide. Read this post if you are interested in Piwik project, Quality Assurance or Automated testing.

  Why do we care about tests ?

  Continuous Integration brings us agility and peace of mind. From the very beginning of the Piwik project, it was clear to us that writing and maintaining automated tests was a necessity, in order to create a successful open source software platform.

  Over the years we have invested a lot of time into writing and maintaining our tests suites. This work has paid off in so many ways ! Piwik platform has fewer bugs, fewer regressions, and we are able to release new minor and major versions frequently.

  Which parts of Piwik software are automatically tested ?

  • Piwik back-end in PHP5 : we use PHPUnit to write and run our PHP tests : unit tests, integration tests, and plugin tests.
  • piwik.js Tracker : the JS tracker is included into all websites that use Piwik. For this reason, it is critical that piwik.js JavaScript tracker always works without any issue or regression. Our Javascript Tracker tests includes both unit and integration tests.
  • Piwik front-end : more recently we’ve started to write JavaScript tests for the user interface partially written in AngularJS.
  • Piwik front-end screenshots tests : after each change to Piwik, more than 150 different screenshots are automatically taken. For example, we take screenshots of each of the 8-step installation process, we take screenshots of the password reset workflow, etc. Each of these screenshot is then compared pixel by pixel, with the “expected” screenshot, and we can automatically detect whether the last code change has introduced an undesired visual change. Learn more about Piwik screenshot tests.

  How often do we run the tests ?

  The tests are executed by Travis CI after each change to the Piwik source code. On average all our tests run 20 times per day. Whenever a Piwik developer pushes some code to Github, or when a community member issues a Pull request, Travis CI automatically runs the tests. In case some of the automated tests started failing after a change, the developer that has made the change is notified by email.

  Should I use Travis CI ?

  Over the last six years, we have used various Continuous Integration servers such as Bamboo, Hudson, Jenkins… and have found that the Travis CI is the ideal continuous integration service for open source projects that are hosted on Github. Travis CI is free for open source projects and the Travis CI team is very friendly and reactive ! If you work on commercial closed source software, you may also use Travis by signing up to Travis CI Pro.

  Summary

  Tests make the Piwik analytics platform better. Writing tests make Piwik contributors better developers. We save a lot of time and effort, and we are not afraid of change !

  Here is the current status of our builds :

  Screenshot tests build :

  PS : If you are a developer looking for a challenge, Piwik is hiring a software developer to join our engineering team in New Zealand or Poland.

• FFmpeg video out of many sources

  2 octobre 2017, par Wlad

  I have to make a 1920x1080 mp4 video out of many videos / pictures.

  There are 1 to 20 Parts (Image). The red area is a 5 second mp4 (1920x1080) video and the white areas are png images (3000x3000). I’m using Node.js to create the Images, so i can use a package or cli without any problems.

  Everything should be in one video and the parts should change every 5 seconds. It gets generated daily by a server, thats why i can’t use movie maker or something like that.

  My questions :

  1. Is it possible with FFmpeg or is there a better way ?
  2. Is it possible to make a simple transition between the parts ?

• Solution for VB6 to broadcast Webcam

  11 juillet 2014, par vantrung -cuncon

  Sorry, I know VB6 is decades ago, but I’m in a situation that I have to use VB6 to deliver live webcam stream beetween 2 PC in Server - Client Model program. Vb6-code holds the connection then I have no choice but to transfer all data via that connection.

  I’ve tried weeks for this, uncountable approaches but went to nowhere.
  My efforts focused on 3 major approaches :

  1/ Use ffmpeg to record live webcam as ".avi" file on hard disk, transfer parts of file to other end & play it. But I’ve stucked with a media-player that can play a "being written" avi file.

  Windows Media Player control told me "file already in use..." & VLC Plugin can’t even be added to VB6 (axvlc.dll).

  2/ Use ffmpeg to save live webcam as avi file, transfer each bit of that file to the other end, then in other end, extract 24 images / second from the avi to display continously in a picture box.
  This approach is ok except that my hard disk get fulled of images in a time of wink and my program get very slow before hanging.

  3/ Use ffmpeg to stream the live webcam to a rtp-port like this :

  ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Lenovo EasyCamera" -vcodec mpeg2video -pix_fmt yuv422p -f rtp -an rtp://224.1.2.3:8191

  I’ve successfully watch the stream in VLC, but VLC(axvlc.dll) refused to be integrated into ancient VB6. And more important, I don’t know how to redirect/reroute the rtp stream to other PC with VB6.

  Any one please light me up ? (Any 3rd party component is welcomed)
