QMO + Bugzilla + Drupal

[paulc]

Hi all,

I'm an intern at Mozilla, trying to set up a Drupal module for QMO
(quality.mozilla.org).
Shortly put, this module needs to gather data from Bugzilla and
generate useful charts that would help the QA team (and hopefully not
just). Some feedback from the kind of charts the QA team wants is
available at
http://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Community/QMO_Bugzilla
I'll be working on this with Jay Patel, my mentor for the summer.

One idea I've had so far was to parse the XML output of Bugzilla and
store it in a QMO database. Then query that database on each page
display to generate the charts listed above. This works wonderfully if
I can get all the information I need in one query. Easily enough, I
could get the bugs changed for the past 24 hours each day and make
sure that the QMO module stays up to date.

However, some of these charts may require some fields that are not
displayed by default in bug listings, does anyone know a way to get
more (or all) information on bugs, a quicker way than just by parsing
each bug by id, or doing a new query listing? For example, if I'd like
to know when a bug's keywords have changed, when it's been marked as a
regression, etc.

I'm open to any help, suggestions and ideas. This project has just
started and I'm working more on implementing the functionality in the
module itself than getting the content from Bugzilla, so please take a
stab at how I should proceed.

Thanks a bunch!
