QA Team Updates

Desktop (Juan)

  • Firefox
  • Fx19b4 to be shipped Thursday
  • Possible 18.0.2 based on crash data after speculative fix in 19.0b4.
  • ESR (ashughes)
  • Automation (ashughes)
  • Sync Client (Tracy)
  • Server side issue is causing Sync failures. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836262
  • The issue is not affecting every user. And it appears to be random for those that do get affected. That is, the failure will last for a while, then clear itself up. Zues, the server load balancer, is likely the cause for this randomness. OP's are on it like white on rice.
  • Community
  • Security (mwobensmith)
  • In Toronto for FF Work Week

Mobile (Tony)

  • B2G (Geo/jhammink)
  • Stability (nhirata)
  • https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2013-01-29#B2G
  • DogFood Channel (courtesy of Aki):
  • The sources.xml is available next to the update:* http://update.boot2gecko.org/beta/b2g_beta_update_20130128070201.xml* .
  • Releng generated the RIL repack, but it's not clear how to get it to QA without bug 834424.
  • Kernel  :
  • Be sure you are on the latest kernel!
  • Kernel dates are still the same between otoro kernel 11 and 12 and unagi 4 and 5... they should say Dec 5.
  • (courtesy of mwu) : The only change is one kernel command line parameter in this update. pmem_adsp has been changed to 13631488, so you should see pmem_adsp=13631488 after running "adb shell cat /proc/cmdline". If the number is lower, you have an older kernel. This applies to both kernels.
  • UX Branch : not used now, status unsure if we will reopen or need to based on new branching. TBD
  • SUMO Feedback : closed for now; cancelled further meetings, since Test drivers is done for now
  • Testrun 3 (mbrandt) :
  • Full Stop (today) on testing Build ID: 2013-01-25-07
  • RIL : AU 184 with d72fcfb5ebcd1a51ba4e318517244bdb34ddbfa5.
  • "gecko" revision="d72fcfb5ebcd1a51ba4e318517244bdb34ddbfa5"
  • "gaia" revision="6369dbf33b622faf4b4d176fed30b77c5c319dfc"
  • Turns out that this is an outdated RIL.
  • Full Stop again on changing over to the Jan 28th build that contains the corrected QC Ril (version 189)
  • The build contained incompatable gecko/gaia binaries. This is the deviceStorage issue that david flanagan mentioned in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.gaia/YAFpysr7JsI/discussion
  • http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/manifests/2013-01-28-07/source_unagi-stable_2013-01-28-07.xml

  • verifying bugs
  • addressing qawanted bugs
  • running the smoketests for 1/30
  • Testrun 4
  • If nightly 1/30 checks out we will spin a TestRun 4 test run and have the teams - Mozilla, TEF, and QAnalyst - begin testing against it
  • Smoketest is now updated in MozTrap and is called Firefox OS Daily Smoketest. Test cases match what is in the spreadsheet
  • Apps (Jason)

Community (Marcia)

  • Gear Store
  • The Gear store is now following a new process as described in the wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/GearStore
  • Requests will be made using a Bugzilla form and they are trying to define a set of conversion points that each team will use to define who gets Gear. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Conversion_points for info about the conversion points
  • The issue of new employees not getting any gear has been raised with HR and I was told that plans are in the works to have the onboarding portal have a series of choices for new employees
  • We still can design our own Gear for QA and I encourage teams to think about what they would like to do
  • Projects
  • Notes from the Grow Mozilla Meeting:
  • There is a proposal on the table for a possible Summit
  • If there is such an event they will not have the traditional MozCamps that are held every year but there will be "regional" community events
  • We should be thinking about QA community events we want to be involved with in 2013
  • One and Done project:
  • Each team is requested to come up with the list of tasks that each team does periodically, and highlight those that are particulary suited for community contributors. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/User-Stories-One-and-Done
  • Food for thought: Add-ons team has made changes to its incentive program for its add-on reviewers. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2013/01/15/improvements-to-the-reviewer-program/
