Performance
Key patterns and highlights from this developer's activity.
Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
No bugs introduced or fixed in this period.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| 75a0fe1 | This commit delivers an **accessibility bug fix** for the **Command Palette**'s UI, specifically addressing an issue within its **details panel** (`ShellPage.xaml`). It **eliminates redundant Tab stops** on non-interactive container elements, which previously caused keyboard navigation to halt twice unnecessarily. By adjusting XAML properties like `IsTabStop` and `AutomationProperties`, this change streamlines the navigation flow, allowing keyboard-only and assistive technology users to move directly to interactive controls. This significantly improves the **usability and efficiency** of the Command Palette for all users relying on keyboard navigation. | Mar 27 | 1 | waste |
| cb9d543 | This commit delivers an **accessibility bug fix** for the **Command Palette Extensions settings page**, specifically addressing focus management during keyboard navigation. It ensures that when users navigate back into the extension list using Shift or Shift+Tab, focus is correctly restored to the previously selected extension card within the `ItemsRepeater` control. This prevents focus from unexpectedly jumping to the first or last item, significantly improving **usability for keyboard-only and assistive-technology users**. The fix involves adding `GettingFocus` and `GotFocus` event handlers in `ExtensionsPage.xaml` and implementing new focus restoration logic in `ExtensionsPage.xaml.cs` through methods like `SettingsCard_GotFocus` and `ProvidersRepeater_GettingFocus`. | Mar 24 | 2 | waste |
| ff194c0 | This commit implements an **accessibility bug fix** within the **Cmdpal** module's **ExtensionPage settings UI**. It resolves an issue where screen readers incorrectly announced "Enter Alias" for the Alias input field, leading to user confusion and increased cognitive load. The solution involves adding an `AutomationProperties.LabeledBy` attribute to the `Alias` TextBox in `ExtensionPage.xaml` and introducing new resource entries in `Resources.resw` to explicitly define the correct `AutomationProperties.Name`. This ensures that assistive technologies now accurately announce "Alias", significantly improving the user experience for individuals relying on screen readers. | Mar 18 | 2 | waste |
| a151d6c | This commit introduces an **accessibility improvement** to the **Command Palette** module by **updating the UI** to announce shortcut key information for the settings button. Specifically, it modifies the `Resources.resw` file to include audio text in the accessibility name of the settings button. This **enhancement** ensures that users relying on assistive technologies are made aware of available shortcut keys, thereby **improving usability and efficiency** within the Command Palette. | Mar 18 | 1 | maint |
| 658f90d | This commit **improves accessibility** for the **CmdPal module's Settings Extensions page** by adding an `AutomationProperties.Name` to the "More options" button. This **accessibility enhancement** ensures that screen readers can correctly identify and announce the button's purpose, addressing a known A11y bug. A new localized string resource, `Settings_ExtensionsPage_More_Button`, has been added to `src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw` to support this change. This **maintenance work** makes the **CmdPal UI** more usable and navigable for users relying on assistive technologies. | Feb 11 | 1 | waste |
| 3f3e040 | This commit introduces **new developer documentation** (`doc/devdocs/Events.md`) that provides a comprehensive guide for implementing **telemetry events** within **PowerToys modules**. This **maintenance** work aims to streamline the process for developers, ensuring consistent and proper integration of event tracking across the application. The documentation outlines the necessary steps and provides points of contact for further assistance, thereby improving the overall development workflow for new features and bug fixes. | Feb 10 | 2 | maint |
| fbabdff | This commit performs a **documentation update** to `DATA_AND_PRIVACY.md`, specifically for the **telemetry events documentation**. It ensures the documentation is complete and well-organized by adding new and missing events, removing obsolete ones, and alphabetizing modules for easier navigation. Additionally, it standardizes table formatting using `table-layout:fixed`. This **maintenance** effort improves the accuracy and usability of the project's privacy and data collection transparency. | Jan 21 | 1 | maint |
| 37bd24d | This commit introduces **new telemetry events** to the **Command Palette** (`CmdPal`) module, significantly enhancing **user research capabilities**. It now tracks detailed **extension invocation metrics**, including `ExtensionId`, `CommandType`, `Success`, and `ExecutionTimeMs`, to understand how users interact with various extensions. Additionally, comprehensive **session duration data** is collected, covering `DurationMs`, `CommandsExecuted`, `PagesVisited`, `DismissalReason`, `SearchQueriesCount`, `MaxNavigationDepth`, and `ErrorCount` for each Command Palette session. This **feature** provides crucial insights into user interaction patterns and performance within the `CmdPal.UI` and `CmdPal.Core.ViewModels` components, enabling future **optimizations** and improvements, and is reflected in the updated `DATA_AND_PRIVACY.md` documentation. | Dec 19 | 18 | grow |
