QA

• Test Execution
  • Tested 15011/2003 for final release. The release team instituted a Beta program. User feedback showed no problems with our beta release. [juanb, many others]
  • Participated in 15012/2004 triage [juanb]
    • Started investigating missing bookmarks problem after seeing a lot of reports in Hendrix feedback. We'll try to tackle this problem as it is one of the more frustrating one for users. See bug 375102 [juanb]

• Test Development
  • Updated the Update Checker preferences [bc]
  • Checked in the counter reftests and we are now running them. See bug 3247 (yes, this is a very old bug!) [robcee]
  • Completed a litmus test suite for localizers to use during locale signoff.

• Test Tools and Infrastructure
  • Buildbot Test Infrastructure
    • Started documenting buildbot usage in a Buildbot Testfarm User Manual
    • Investigated integrating killableprocess.py into buildbot. We'd have to implement this in the twisted layer. I'm going to try filing a bug at them to see if we can get someone else to do this.
  • Litmus- worked on bug 370211: updating cookie code to track test runs [coop]

• Misc
  • Test Suite/HArness Survey followup:

    • Working on the roadmap/flowchart to lead developers wanting to do unit tests from the type (C++ or JS) and nature (layout, content, directory services, etc) to a preferred harness for them to use. This will include harness documentation, how to write the first unit test, and sample test cases. [ray]
