Spade Trawler statistics

Spade is an open source hardware description language developed at Linköping University. Even though we have several hundred test cases in the compiler repository, they are usually limited to testing if something compiles or not. We also want to check that behaviour doesn't change between versions, which is much more difficult to do in tests meant for quick iteration.

Trawler is a project that builds, simulates and runs place-and-route on several real Spade projects. A trawl is run for every merge request in the spade-lang/spade-repository, as well as every commit to the main branch. Unfortunately, the GitLab test case UI leaves a lot to be desired. This page collects statistics on trawls for an easier overview.
