MRUnit

What the board has decided about this committee or office, and the reports it filed, most recent first. Generated from the published minutes.

These categorised views are best effort. They are read from the published minutes by a program, and what it can attribute to a committee depends on how each resolution happens to be worded — so a page may be incomplete, and nothing here overrides the minutes themselves. The raw minutes are the source of truth.

Please note. The board approves the minutes of a meeting at the meeting after it, and they are published then - so the most recent meeting is not usually here. ASF Members can read the draft in the board's own repository until it is.

## Health report:
 - MRUnit still has many users but the API we build on is not changing
   it might be time to move to the attic.

 - Currently 12 PMC members.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
 - Last PMC addition was James Robert Kinley on Tue Sep 18 2012

## Committer base changes:

 - Currently 15 committers.
 - No new committers added in the last 3 months
 - Last committer addition was Mac Noland at Tue Feb 10 2015

DESCRIPTION

MRUnit is a Java library that helps developers unit test Apache Hadoop
MapReduce jobs. Unit testing is a technique for improving project quality
and reducing overall costs by writing a small amount of code that can
automatically verify the software you write performs as intended. This is
considered a best practice in software development since it helps identify
defects early, before they're deployed to a production system.

RELEASES

The last release of Apache MRUnit was version 1.1.0, released on
June 8, 2014. This was MRUnit's second release since graduation in May 2012.

CURRENT ACTIVITY

0 JIRA's was resolved since the last report.
Mail traffic is largely on the DEV list.
Messages since April 1st: dev 4, user 3 (all in April)

COMMUNITY

The composition of the committers and PMC members has not changed since
the last report.
Currently there are:

Total of 40 subscribers to the developer list.
Total of 79 subscribers to the user list.

discuss internally if someone else would like to take up the role.

## PMC/Committership changes:

 - Currently 15 committers and 12 PMC members in the project.
 - No new PMC members added in the last 3 months
