Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Repository Size = 100000
- CI Infrastructure Cores = 4
- Base Build Time = 60
- Test Complexity Factor = 1.5
- Build Parallelism Penalty = 1
- CI Infrastructure Efficiency Factor = 0.9
Expected Result:
- Allocated Build Time Budget = 2500000
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Allocated Build Time Budget = 2500000 second.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
allocated build time budget = (repository size * test complexity factor * build parallelism penalty) / (ci infrastructure cores * ci infrastructure efficiency factor) * base build timeAllocated Build Time Budget.
