  • On hold until jgriffen's action above is complete.
• lmandel to review 1.4 approval process for 1.3T, slowing devs down, not providing a lot of value
  • Not sure exactly how devs are being slowed down. Most 1.4 work should follow blocking process at this point.

Q3 Goals: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Goals/2014Q3

Complete

• We've started running perf test on Flames on 2.0/aurora
  • Change perf runs to low-memory Flame for 2.0, but waiting for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1036670 to be fixed
• Added support for Marionette tests that restart with a given set of prefs for Loop

Problems

• gaia-integration hidden on TBPL due to frequent intermittents; kgrandon/julienw investigating

In progress

• Gaia-integration tests on-device
  • Ahal has most of them working locally; now needs to land patches in several repos:

--> https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/mocha-socket-reporter --> https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/marionette-socket-host

• • aims to have these working on Flames by July 21

• Certification Suite
  • Aiming to have a 1.4-compatible release by July 25
  • Investigating the scope of work needed to make the suite compatible with non-phone devices

• Mulet
  • builds available on fig and try: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=997096
  • starting work on greening up tests: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1027242
  • working on getting OSX builds going: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1031085

• Gaia-ui-tests on emulator
  • Kim Moir working on creating a new buildbot platform for faster emulators in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034055 ; we'll use this once it's ready

Gecko

Gaia

• Gaia-try priority:
  • reduce priority: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1035304
    • Can we live with priority 4 for now -- moving to 5 would be a killer for gaia devs if we really start seeing wait times anything close to 8 hours
  • multiple repos: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1037005
    • this approach seems very reasonable, though jhford & aki say it's a complex implementation
