Overview

As a Peer Reviewer I want to have a fast and predictable method of checking the quality of application patches so that I do not have to exert a lot of time and energy manually checking these against the application standards.

As a Lead Developer I want to define and manage the quality standards that comprise the 'Definition of Good' for my application so that they can be applied and reported on in a peer review against an application patch.

Key Features & Functionality

  • Automate 80% of the Peer Review checklist items
  • Register Appian applications and define common standards across that application
  • Run a suite of tests across an application patch
  • Report on failed tests
  • Copy tests between applications
  • Define new object/attribute tests (including database table and view objects) and apply within an application
  • Set the reported significance for a failed test (Fail/Warning/Information)
  • Report on unused variables in Expression Rules and Interfaces
  • Report on the complexity score for Expression Rules and Interfaces
  • Report on missing labels/accessibility text for Interface Object components

  • We just updated to 21.2 and have started having issues when trying to "Analyze Patch"  We are getting the following;

    :  An error occurred while evaluating expression: =rule!AQA_ER_getObjectAttributeValueByAttributeName( object: pv!Object, attributeName: cons!AQA_TEXT_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTE_NAME, objectAttributes: pv!objectAttributes ) (Expression evaluation error in rule 'aqa_er_getobjectattributevaluebyattributename': Invalid index (1) for list: valid range is empty) (Data Inputs)

  • Any update on this issue?  We tried the fix mentioned by but still see this error for a subset of the objects.

    Thanks

  • Hi Ed - I am looking into this issue. Initially I also thought it was because the was related to the patch now containing the 'patches.xml' file (which isn't an Appian design object) but even excluding this (as you previously mentioned) I am still getting failures. The symptom appears to be that the analysis is incorrectly identifying some objects. Since this was working previously my current hypothesis is that one (or more) object type has changed its structure that the XPath is no longer correct.

    As an interim you can (as I have just done) cancel any failed process instances as this then allows the analysis process to proceed on the remaining objects. In my example I am cancelling 34 out of 2000 objects, which means I can still successfully analyze >98% of the objects. Given that it's all about risk, then if you're prepared to accept that you don't have automated insight into those that are failing you could still manually examine those if you are risk averse.

    I'll come back with an update when I determine the root cause of the error.

  • even we are getting this error, Appian CommunityAppian Internal CST/CSE Developer User Group, please resolve this issue as soon as possible, we are not able to use Aquaman

  • I got this error while analyzing patches with individual objects.  The patch contained one expression rule only.
