RoundTable
- Welcome jeads! I think mdas gets to keep her "least time spent as the newbie on the team", but wlach is a close second!
- Ctalbert mostly WFH this week, but should be around -- dr. appts monday pm and friday am.
Goals
- Work with release engineering to reduce overall end-to-end time from push to test result to an average of 2 hours.
- Ensure all harnesses and tests are E10S ready
- Improve performance testing by finalizing user-activated addons performance system, xperf-enabled performance testing, and automating a user responsiveness performance test.
Automation
- Go Faster (P1) - jgriffin, ted, mdas, bc, ctalbert, wlach
- potentially running mochitests that never fail less often - jgriffin
- Go Faster Dashboards - wlach
- Now updated with live data at http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/gofaster/#
- 'Is this build faster tool?' webui up (using jgriffin's backend)
- Licensing of highcharts.js makes dashboard software non-free :(
- mochitest profiling suite - mdas
- Faster unpack/clobber times - wlach
- No real wins there :( {bug|
- Mobile Support (P1) - jmaher, bmoss, ctalbert
- Landed patch to remove etc/hosts file to fix the big "crash in tpan bug"
- Next bug is a failure to launch which seems to be a problem in fork in the OS, jchen has a patch
- xpcshell tests using ADB is landing, and we'll be working on porting that to use the SUT Agents and into the tegra automation

- Working on follow-up patch which exposes some Sync API's to those Mozmill tests
Performance
- Talos/User Responsiveness (P1) - anode, ted
- Moving forward with the plan to use ted's tool to generate a single responsiveness metric
- It will be difficult to get regressions out of but will give you an idea of whether a given build is more or less responsive than another build.
- Talos/Addon Testing Service (P1) - anode
- Final cleanup on graphserver
- Ready to do a full system rollout and pushing tests through the system
- Talos General (P1) - anode
- Updating the flash plugin for tp - ready to land, if anyone has other patches that will need a downtime then we should land them at the same time.
- Talos/Xperf (P2) - jmaher
- Landed changes for talos/xperf to log data to autolog, this should be deployed today. Only three machines left that need tools installed, Armen is working on that with IT.
- Finishing up the last buildbot config patch to turn these on by default
- SpeedTests (P2) - mcote
- Working on some client changes.
- Eideticker (P2) - mcote
- Dev box should be arriving here within a week or so.
Web Tools
- War on Orange/Auto-log (P1) - jgriffin, mcote
- Some oranges have been hidden in TBPL for quite a while due to various bugs; need to develop OF view which allows these to be hunted down easily.
- More work on test failure correlations.
- Bugzilla Improvements (P1) - dkl, glob
- tell-us-more : development work ongoing, requirements shifting

- Regression Hunter (P1) - harth
- Still waiting on IT to get the machine that will store the builds
