[0001] This application relates to the field of research and development management, and in particular to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and computer equipment for controlling the status of a work item. Background Technology

[0002] In the software development process, R&D management tools (such as ONES, Jira, etc.) are generally used to improve the efficiency of software development and delivery. R&D management tools have project management modules and pipeline management modules. Users manage work items in the project management module and configure pipeline tasks in the pipeline management module. Then, users judge the execution status of pipeline tasks and set the running status of work items according to the execution status. As can be seen, the user operation in the process of monitoring work items is relatively complex. Summary of the Invention

The technical solution is as follows:

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling the status of a work item, the method comprising:

[0005] Set the status of work items based on user-defined status flags;

[0006] When the status of the work item is detected as completed, the pipeline task associated with the work item is triggered to execute;

[0007] Monitor the execution results of the pipeline tasks;

[0008] If the execution result is failure, the status of the work item will be changed to incomplete;

[0009] If the execution result is successful, the status of the work item will remain unchanged.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that the method for controlling the status of work items provided in this application is generally executed by computer equipment, and correspondingly, the control device for the status of work items is generally set in the computer equipment.

[0028] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture is shown that can be applied to the control method or control device for the status of work items in this application.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include a computer device 101 and a server 102. The computer device 101 and the server 102 can communicate via a network, which serves as the medium for providing communication links between the various units. The network may include various types of wired or wireless communication links, such as wired communication links including fiber optic cables, twisted-pair cables, or coaxial cables, and wireless communication links including Bluetooth communication links, Wi-Fi communication links, or microwave communication links.

[0030] Among them, server 102 is equipped with R&D management tools. The computer calls these R&D management tools to manage R&D projects, such as work item management and pipeline task management.

[0031] It should be noted that computer device 101 and server 102 can be either hardware or software. When computer device 101 and server 102 are hardware, they can be implemented as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or as a single server. When computer device 101 and server 102 are software, they can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., used to provide distributed services), or as a single software program or software module; no specific limitations are made here.

[0032] The computer device described in this application can be equipped with various communication client applications, such as video recording applications, video playback applications, voice interaction applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social platform software, etc.

[0033] Computer devices can be either hardware or software. When a computer device is hardware, it can be any computer device with a display screen, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. When a computer device is software, it can be installed on the computer devices listed above. It can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., used to provide distributed services) or as a single software program or software module; no specific limitation is made here.

[0034] When a computer device is used as hardware, it can also be equipped with a display device and a camera. The display device can be any device capable of displaying information, and the camera is used to capture video streams. Examples of display devices include cathode ray tube displays (CR), light-emitting diode displays (LED), e-ink screens, liquid crystal displays (LCD), and plasma display panels (PDP). Users can utilize the display device on their computer to view displayed text, images, videos, and other information.

[0035] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of computer devices, networks, and servers shown is for illustrative purposes only. The number of computer devices, networks, and servers can be any number, depending on the implementation requirements.

[0036] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 2 This application provides a detailed description of the method for controlling the status of work items according to embodiments of the present application. The control device for the status of work items in the embodiments of the present application may be... Figure 1 The computer equipment shown.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the state of a work item, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method described in this application embodiment may include the following steps:

[0038] S201. Set the status of the work item based on the user's status flag instruction.

[0039] Status marker instructions are used to set the status of work items. These instructions are generated by the user through interactive actions performed by an input device, such as a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen. After the computer device runs the R&D management function, it displays a user interface. The user generates status marker instructions by performing interactive actions on the user interface through an input device. Work items represent R&D projects, such as mini-program development projects, login page development projects, and APP development projects. The status of a work item includes "completed" and "incomplete." When a user creates a new work item, its status defaults to "incomplete." When the user starts the work item, its status is set to "completed" based on the user's status markers.

[0040] Furthermore, the status of the work item is set based on the user's status flags, including:

[0041] Display status marker control; wherein, the marker control includes multiple status markers, each status marker being associated with a different status;

[0042] A state flag is selected from the multiple state flags based on the selection instruction;

[0043] Set the status of the work item based on the selected status flag.

[0044] The computer device displays a status marker control on the user interface. The status marker control is a graphical control, such as a panel with multiple status markers of different colors, each representing a different state; or a slider control with a slider that controls different states by placing the slider in different positions (i.e., different status markers). The computer device sets the status of work items based on the status markers selected by the user. Setting the status of work items in a graphical way can improve operational efficiency.

[0045] S202. When the status of a work item is detected as completed, the pipeline task associated with the work item is triggered.

[0046] The process involves the computer periodically querying the status of work items. When a work item is detected as completed, the computer identifies the pre-associated pipeline task. This pipeline task comprises multiple stages, each consisting of multiple steps. These stages can be organized sequentially, in parallel, or in a hybrid manner. The computer then executes the pipeline task associated with the work item. The computer can invoke Jenkins plugins to execute these pipeline tasks. For example, the pipeline task associated with a work item might be... Figure 3 As shown in the five stages, when the computer device detects that the work item is completed, the computer device calls the Jenkins plugin via service call and executes the above five stages in a serial manner.

[0047] S203. Monitor the execution results of the production line tasks.

[0048] The computer equipment monitors the execution results of pipeline tasks. Monitoring methods can include polling to query the execution results or the pipeline task actively pushing the results after execution. The execution results include: running status, duration, most recent running time, and most recent user. For example: See [link to documentation]. Figure 3 The user interface diagram showing the execution results indicates that the running status includes successful execution and failed execution. Successful execution is indicated by a green marker, while failed execution is indicated by a red marker.

[0049] S204. If the execution result is failure, change the status of the work item to incomplete.

[0050] In this process, if all stages of a pipeline task run successfully, the pipeline task is considered successfully executed; if at least one stage fails, the pipeline task is considered unsuccessful. When the computer determines that a pipeline task has failed, it changes the work item's status from completed to incomplete. Furthermore, the computer counts the number of successfully executed stages and the total number of stages in the pipeline task, calculates the execution progress based on these two figures, and displays the execution progress and the names of the failed stages on the user interface so that the user can understand the work item's execution progress in a timely and intuitive manner.

[0051] S205. If the execution result is successful, the status of the work item remains unchanged.

[0052] The work item's status is only truly completed when the computer device parses and executes the result as successful, and the work item's status remains unchanged.

[0053] In one or more possible embodiments, prior to S201, the following is also included:

[0054] Create work items and configure their attribute information;

[0055] Create pipeline tasks and configure the attribute information of the pipeline tasks;

[0056] Bind the work item to the pipeline task.

[0057] The computer device creates work items and configures their attributes in the user interface based on user creation instructions. These attributes include: work item name, ID, project name, and deadline. Then, a pipeline task is created and its attributes are configured in the same user interface. These attributes include: pipeline name, ID, stage name, code repository address, and trigger method. Finally, the work item ID and the pipeline task ID are bound together.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, when managing work items, if the status of a work item is detected as "completed," the associated pipeline task is triggered to start execution. Then, the execution result of the pipeline task is obtained. If the execution result is successful, the current status of the work item remains unchanged; if the execution result is unsuccessful, the current status of the work item is changed to "incomplete." This application automatically adjusts the status of work items by binding work items and pipeline tasks and monitoring the execution result of pipeline tasks. The entire process does not require manual intervention, thus saving manual operation steps and improving the efficiency of project management.
