The Pull Request Details page in SourceTraq is a comprehensive feature designed to provide users with in-depth analytics related to individual pull requests. To access this page, users can navigate from the Review Analytics menu or from the Pull Request Aging page, where they click on a specific pull request listed in the overview. This navigation allows users to exploit detailed performance metrics, fostering informed decision-making and team collaboration.

Overview of Pull Request Metrics

Upon reaching the Pull Request Details page, users are presented with several insightful metrics and visualizations that shed light on the performance and status of a specific pull request (PR). This includes comparative analytics, engagement levels, and timeliness of reviews and approvals.

Key Visualizations

The Pull Request Details page comprises two primary types of visualizations: Bar Charts and a Donut Chart. These elements collectively represent different facets of PR activity:

1. Bar Chart

The Bar Chart on this page provides a time-series view of daily activities pertaining to the selected PR. It displays three distinct metrics:

• Comments: Represented as blue bars, this metric counts the number of comments made on each day.
• Approvals: Shown as green bars, this reflects the number of approvals received each day.
• Commits: Illustrated in orange bars, this indicates the number of commits associated with the PR on each day.

By analyzing patterns in the Bar Chart, users can identify trends in team engagement over time, such as when contributions peak or periods of inactivity that might signify bottlenecks in the review process.

2. Donut Chart

The Donut Chart complements the Bar Chart by visualizing reviewer contributions. Each segment of this chart is color-coded to represent different reviewers and quantifies their involvement in the review process.

This visual tool assists users in determining which reviewers are most active, ensuring that everyone is engaged and contributing effectively. It can also highlight any discrepancies in reviewer workload, prompting discussions on resource allocation and team dynamics.

Detailed Metrics Table

Alongside the charts, a meticulous metrics table is available that breaks down the performance of the selected PR into various parameters. The table includes the following columns:

• PR Id: The unique identifier for the pull request, allowing for easy reference (e.g., `#186382`).
• Title: The title of the pull request, summarizing the changes proposed (e.g., "Migrate diff file components to Pinia diffs store").
• State: The current status of the PR, indicating whether it is OPEN, MERGED, or another state.
• Created: The date the PR was initiated, vital for tracking its age.
• Closed: The date the PR was closed, if applicable.
• Age: This column shows how many days the PR has been open, which is critical for assessing processing time.
• Lag: The time taken from the first commit to the creation of the PR, which can indicate planning efficiency.
• Approval Lag: The time span from the PR submission to the first approval, revealing the efficiency of the review process.
• Reviewers: The number of reviewers assigned to the PR, suggesting collaborative effort for the review.
• Approvals: Total approvals received, indicating support for the proposed changes.
• Comments: The total number of comments made on the PR, reflecting engagement and areas needing clarification.
• Activity Lag: This metric shows the time taken until the first activity occurred in the PR after its creation, giving insight into responsiveness.

Users have the option to interact with the metrics table. By clicking on individual rows, they can access additional metrics for the selected PR, providing a more granular view of all associated data points.
