  • Planning by week is a good thing - We hope not too much will slip for m5

  • FFT planned starting around m5

Marketing Updates

Roundtable

Reminder: Google Summer of Code

Students start applying yesterday!

Reftest & crashtests

(Standard8)

  • Previously didn't realise this was possible: running reftest and crashtest against Thunderbird.
  • They both use xul/html/xhtml files to test the layout parts of gecko.
  • Should we run them?
    • Against core code, so unlikely to get Thunderbird specific tests.
    • Tests already run by Firefox against the same core code.
    • reftest can take up to 20 minutes to run (longer tinderbox cycle times).
    • Only real boost would be confidence that code is doing what it is meant to do.
  • Suggestions:
    • Don't run against day-to-day Thunderbird tinderbox builds
    • Run against build candidates when preparing releases as a confidence that the build is correct.
    • (Possibility:) Once we have the capability to separate out tests & build, we could have a separate set of builders lined up and enable them only in the few days of code freeze before a release to gain extra confidence the build is working correctly (and gain a understanding of any intermittent failures).
