Project Updates

• Stability (KaiRo)

• EME automation + YouTube MSE automation [sydpolk]
  • Netflix fixed the bug that sydpolk was running across, and now the tests pass much more frequently.
  • Network bandwidth limiting for Netflix is ready to be deployed.
  • We need to run our media tests on Windows 32 bit hardware, and we need to run Windows 64 binaries on 64-bit hardware. Right now, we only run 32-bit windows on 64-bit hardware.

Automation (whimboo)

• Update tests were not run due to RelEng changes without informing us (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194483#c12 )
• Push of mozharness changes is blocked by Releng (missing revision id in pulse messages) - we will have a meeting later today and hopefully can get this fixed soon - if that is not possible we might not be able to test localized builds anymore
• We most likely want to replace ondemand update tests with Marionette driven tests to finally get rid of Mozmill - talking with Robert and Florin at the moment)
