From 717c40a15d178a4fd94f982b4aa33fd97fcf1c07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 18:10:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(merge-queue): add Testing Duration chart section and drill-down to metrics page Documents two related features that ship in v175: - Testing Duration chart (trunk2 PR #3919 + context): shows per-testing-cycle durations with Outcome and Cycle ended in filters and statistical measures - Testing metrics drill-down (trunk2 PR #3936): clicking into a range on the Testing Duration chart shows individual PR test runs with duration, outcome, and cycle conclusion columns Also updates the "Drill down into metrics" intro to include Testing Duration alongside Conclusion count and Time in queue, and removes the hint that said drill-down was not yet available on additional charts. https://github.com/trunk-io/trunk2/pull/3936 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 --- merge-queue/administration/metrics.md | 65 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 60 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/merge-queue/administration/metrics.md b/merge-queue/administration/metrics.md index 94611ed5..b6fd5813 100644 --- a/merge-queue/administration/metrics.md +++ b/merge-queue/administration/metrics.md @@ -105,9 +105,68 @@ The time in queue can be displayed as different statistical measures.

Unlike the Conclusion count and Time in queue charts, testing duration uses separate data bucketing.
