Discussion Items

• handling pref'd off litmus tests for automation (henrik)
  • discussion we should only automate enabled tests for now
  • what we care most is synchronize the mozmill spreadsheet with the list of enabled tests in litmus.
  • Create an email alias on test case changes only? (edits/enable/disabled). and have henrik can monitor changes once a month? (whimboo to follow up with coop)

• bugday discussion (tracy)
  • Alternate every other friday with testdays? or move to another day?
  • discussion not a large event like triaging every time, but place with good documentation, a list of tasks, and a lot of hands off work
  • Be more active in the channel, doling out bugs, and getting people to work on them for the day

• profile management tool requirements (henrik)
  • Come up with some requirements from QAE
  • bug 539524: New Test/Triage Profile Manager Application
  • See discussion in m.d.planning
    • Some early use cases:
    • the ability to manage a large set of profiles
    • the ability to choose a profile and branch of Firefox to launch
    • the ability for end users to reset their profile or create a new one
    • To that I'll add a bunch more requirements that I think would be even MORE useful for you:
    • the ability to clone or duplicate a profile
    • the ability to create a one-time-use profile
    • the ability to generate a profile with certain default preferences or in a snapshot state
    • the ability to back up an entire profile
    • the ability to package a profile for migration to a new system
    • the ability to unpack a profile that's being migrated from an existing system
  • Discussion Henrik had a chat with bsmedberg, and a blogpost will be coming soon.
  • for the basic requirements: Creating a profile, Selecting a profile, removing a profile, editing a profile name. The rest can be pushed toward a v2.
