Update: Bugzilla SQR
August 14th, 2009 by skrueger
I have had the chance to improve the bugzilla SQR in many ways. I have improved the overall run time inside of the ETL (both in kettle and in a python script), fixed a few bugs (A major one that was causing problem with the Open Bug Count), added new dimensions, and constructed a few dashboards. All my changes will be able to be found at sourceforge.
I added a bug severity dimension, added a component level onto the product dimension, added a team level onto the person dimension, and a days dimension to track bugs over a distribution.
I have made some mock up dashboards here and posted bellow are a few snap shots of the charts in them. Tell me what you think and what you would find useful!

SQL, ETL, all sounds very exciting, if only there was some explanation of what it means.

SQR is a tough one. It stands for Software Quality Reports. It was the original name for the project that allows us to generate useful reports on Bugzilla data.
Here you go. ;)
Hi Mossop,
I wrote an article on the language of BI: http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2011/01/26/the-ladybird-guide-to-business-intelligence/
ETL = Extract (data from a data source), Transform it (to a different/useful form), and Load it (into target data storage). Typically this means getting data from CSV files/screen scrapes/a database, ensuring you match inputs to output fields in the target database, and storing the resuling data.
SQR is just a customised set of reports using the data structures found in Bugzilla and JIRA.
