Goals

2014Q1

Deep Dives

Mobile (1st/2nd Monday)

B2G Automation

- Per-app memory consumption metrics now showing in datazilla for 1.4: bug 962238; see for example a calendar app memory plot
  - Hub working on porting 'make test-perf' to 1.3; we can then add memory consumption metrics to that branch as well
- b2gperf now reporting data on Tarako on 1.3
- Improved crashed detection in B2G harnesses has resulted in more accurate bug reporting (fewer general hangs, more crash stacks)
- Added mach target for running xpcshell tests on B2G: bug 932362
- Allow MarionetteJS tests to grab node modules from a git mirror: bug 977366
- Gaia-ui-tests on linux unhidden again on TBPL

Tools (1st/2nd Monday)

Bugzilla

Bugzilla (upstream & BMO) moved to git.mozilla.org! Blog post detailing the whole process forthcoming.

Performance (3rd/4th Monday)

Signal From Noise

Alerts being emailed to bkelly, jmaher and ekyle. Good results, but many more improvements to be had.

Eideticker

Lots of progress on making things more robust and useful: http://wrla.ch/blog/2014/03/eideticker-for-firefoxos-becoming-more-useful/
Work on checkerboarding metrics: http://wrla.ch/blog/2014/03/its-all-about-the-entropy/
Biggest obstacle to scaling is currently slow syncing: bug 979498. More tests and improvements ready to land after that's resolved.

Talos

latency-benchmark is in the works
desktop power consumption measurement is in the works
sps profiling is in the works for talos- should be online by the end of the month.

General Framework Support (3rd/4th Monday)

Other Automation/Harnesses

testing/mochitest/*.json -> mochitest.ini - this work is done as much as possible until we filter tests during runtime instead of the current method of filtering at buildtime. Thanks to :vaibhav1994
browser-chrome for linux-debug is almost running green on ec2- eta this week.

Process (3rd/4th Monday)
