Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
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.

The change is purely a **test refactoring** and has no impact on the production agent's functionality or behavior. | Oct 22 | 1 | maint |
| 1167c5e1 | This commit introduces a new **test utility function**, `getL2Table`, within `fboss/agent/test/utils/MacTestUtils.cpp` and `MacTestUtils.h`. This function provides a standardized and abstracted mechanism for **L2 Tests** to fetch L2 entries directly from the switch, utilizing either the FBB manager or SDK instead of direct Thrift API calls. This **test utility enhancement** centralizes L2 table data retrieval, improving the maintainability and robustness of **FBOSS agent L2 testing**. It simplifies future test development by offering a consistent interface for verifying L2 table contents. | Oct 21 | 3 | maint |
| 0ca1e8a0 | This commit introduces a **new command-line argument** to the `fboss/oss/scripts/run_scripts/run_test.py` script, allowing users to provide a `platform_mapping.json` file. This **enhances the SAI test infrastructure** by enabling the **SaiTestRunner** and **SaiAgentTestRunner** to utilize custom platform configurations during test execution. The change integrates this new argument into the test execution logic via functions like `add_subcommand_arguments` and `_get_test_run_args`. This **new capability** provides greater flexibility and configurability for running **SAI tests**, particularly when dealing with diverse hardware platforms. | Oct 21 | 1 | grow |
| 2d8fb34e | This commit introduces a new boolean parameter, `sdk`, to the **L2 table fetching mechanism** across the `fboss/agent` component. This **feature enhancement** modifies the `fetchL2Table` virtual function in `HwSwitch.h` and its implementations in `BcmSwitch`, `SaiSwitch`, `SimSwitch`, and `MockHwSwitch`. The `sdk` parameter dictates whether L2 entries are read directly from the hardware SDK or from FDB-managed entries, also impacting `getL2Entries` in `SaiFdbManager`. This change provides greater control over the source of L2 data, enabling more flexible and potentially optimized retrieval strategies across various hardware platforms. | Oct 20 | 12 | grow |
| 9f8698b4 | This commit performs a **platform identifier rename**, changing all internal references from `WEDGE800CA` to `WEDGE800C_ACT`. This **refactoring** ensures consistency across the **platform identification**, **SAI platform initialization**, and **Thrift definitions** within the system. Specifically, it updates the `PlatformType` enum in `fboss_common.thrift`, string representations in `PlatformMode.h`, and platform type initializations in `PlatformMappingUtils.cpp`, `SaiPlatform.cpp`, and `SaiPlatformInit.cpp`. The change aligns the internal platform naming with external documentation, impacting how the system recognizes and configures the `WEDGE800C_ACT` hardware platform. | Oct 20 | 6 | maint |
| b2113ebd | This commit **enhances hardware tests** by addressing a specific prerequisite for configuring **Port Random Bit Sequence (PRBS)**. It introduces a helper function within `AgentPrbsTests.cpp` to place test ports into **PHY loopback mode**, a necessary step on **YUBA ASICs** before setting the `SAI_PORT_ATTR_PRBS_CONFIG` attribute. This **maintenance and test enhancement** ensures the reliability of PRBS enable/disable tests by correctly handling ASIC-specific configuration requirements, preventing potential test failures. | Oct 17 | 1 | maint |
| 17d43a43 | This commit performs a **refactoring** and **maintenance** task by **removing unused header includes** from the `fboss/agent/NeighborUpdater.cpp` file. Specifically, it cleans up the implementation of the **NeighborUpdater** component by eliminating unnecessary dependencies. This change improves code hygiene, potentially reduces compilation times, and enhances the clarity of the `NeighborUpdater` module without introducing any functional modifications or behavioral changes to the system. | Oct 14 | 2 | maint |
| 2017b94d | This commit **improves observability** within the **SAI switch agent** by adding a crucial log message to aid in **debugging FDB learn notifications**. Specifically, it now logs when **FDB learn notifications** are ignored because the `l2LearningMode` is not `SOFTWARE`, which is vital for diagnosing issues in mixed hardware/software L2 learning mode environments. This **maintenance** change, affecting `fdbEventCallback` and `fdbEventCallbackLockedBottomHalf` in `SaiSwitch.cpp`, helps engineers understand why certain FDB events are not processed. It also includes a minor adjustment to existing FDB event log levels. | Oct 14 | 1 | maint |
| dbc48c24 | This commit **improves the reliability of L3 stats testing** by modifying the `AgentHwResourceStatsTests.cpp` file. Specifically, the test now adds **10 IPv6 prefixes** instead of just one when verifying hardware resource usage. This change addresses a nuance in how **LPM (Longest Prefix Match)** algorithms on certain ASICs calculate available hardware entries, ensuring that the test accurately reflects the decrement in resource statistics. This **test improvement** guarantees that hardware resource usage stats are reliably updated and reported, providing more accurate insights into ASIC capacity. | Oct 3 | 1 | maint |
| dee15a7a | This commit provides a **bug fix** to prevent **FBOSS agent crashes** on **SSWs** related to **IPv6 multicast neighbor solicitation**. It addresses a regression by reintroducing a previously reverted change, ensuring the `MultiSwitchInterfaceMap` is not prematurely destroyed during `stateUpdate`. The fix involves storing a shared pointer to the map within `fboss/agent/IPv6Handler.cpp`, specifically in the `sendMulticastNeighborSolicitation` function, to prevent dangling interface pointers. This change significantly improves the **agent's stability** in multi-switch environments by correctly managing interface lifetimes. | Sep 14 | 1 | waste |
