Discussion Items

• [Florin] Desktop General status (https://etherpad.mozilla.org/DesktopManualQAWeeklyStatus ):
  • ESR 31.7 & 38.0 have been signed off - Mac OS Signing verification is pending
  • 38.0.5 Beta 1 - conditionally signed off (18 new issues found and logged)
  • Main focus:
    • 38.0.5 features - Pocket, Reader View, Screensharing
    • New Add-on signing
  • Lower priority tasks:
    • Feature testing - other than 38.0.5 and New Add-on signing
    • Bug Verification - other than 38.0.5 or Add-on signing
    • Investigation/Verification requests on individual bugs (other than 38.0.5)
    • Bug Triage - lowest priority at the moment

• Mobile
  • no 38.0.5 mobile builds yet
    • might have a beta till June.
  • unsure about 39.0b1 then for mobile
  • Teo helped out with the Pocket testing
  • Mihai checked for any possible regressions due to Add-on signing on mobile.
  • possible 38.0.1 for mobile too due to the crash on no hardware acceleration devices.

• Firefox 38.0.1 expected in the next days

Project Updates

• DOM (ashughes)

• E10S (Tracy)

• Graphics (ashughes)

• Metrics / Dashboards (KaiRo)

• Stability (KaiRo)
  • The Top Crash Scores prototype had shown the same crash for 38 beta for some time that exploded in 38.0 release and made us hold it, so it works in principle. Need to be more aggressive on startup crashes like that in the future.

• EME automation + YouTube MSE automation [sydpolk] (read-only)
• We have tests that can run arbitrary sites, check for video elements, check to see that they start playing, and end playing. They also detect stalls on the audio or video channels. They are not quite ready for production yet; we plan on having them in Jenkins next week.
• maja_zf continues to work on reporting our results to treeherder.

• Mobile
