    • 3.6 EOL billboards & update to 11.0 being pushed live today as they are tested (3.6.28->3.6.13)
  • Stability (marcia)
    • bug 745453 was discovered and became a Beta blocker. Marcia and Juan worked on verification
    • Weekly Desktop Stability Report
      • Mostly third party issues (Flash) are affecting us due to new version of Flash (11.2) and sandboxed version (11.3) being very crashy.
  • Automation (ashughes)
    • Currently working through a list of open bugs and disabled tests to resolve ahead of the Mozmill-2.0 release
    • Jenkins instance for release tests now listens automatically for Beta candidates
      • no need to kick off functional tests anymore
      • still need to kick off update tests through Jenkins
  • Sync Client (Tracy)
    • A small train rolled out of the station midweek.
    • How is 2.0 client side work going? gps said there is nothing ready for testing at this time.
  • App WebRT (David/Jason/Aaron)
    • What happened this week?
      • Finalized expectations for marketplace beta release for desktop web apps
        • Current test cases documented here
      • Exploratory testing on the Mac web apps integration into desktop has begun - Please help out!
      • Mobile & AITC Client - Cut for FF 14
      • Began drafting automation requirements with the ateam for desktop
    • What's next?

Mobile (Tony)

  • Issues
    • Firefox Mobile 12 looks good, will be testing ESR 10.0.4
    • Firefox workweek next week, likely to scramble test coverage for aurora merge
    • still large fixes in gfx sync, and migration that needs to land (beta+ blockers)
    • B2G is blocking SGS2, important to get it running for LATAM
    • carving out a build process atm
    • Pancake internal beta is just that, internal-Ipad only. See Naoki if you'd like to assist.
  • Fennec (Kevin/Aaron)
    • Tracking qa-wanted or regressionwindow-wanted bugs that are tracking-fennec-1.0 for quick help make sure your bug shows up on
    • testing the keep profile on sdcard patch
    • kairo/chofmann's scripts and ADUs for the weekend were not working correctly due to something wrong with the cron jobs; for details see Socorro work
      • This should be repaired by wednesday; thursday at the latest.
    • Stability (nhirata)
      • Crashes are at a steady ~25 crashes per ADU; Dev focus more on Beta Blocker bugs ATM
      • ADU numbers are 0 due to issues with cron job; explained in platform meeting
    • Sync (tracy)
      • Password sync landed but triggers Fennec crasher bug 744816 - Fennec crashes in concurrent access of password db (fix landed yesterday)
      • The end to end UX of Password sync is also going to be stymied by bug 745302 - Passwords synced to Fennec database, but don't autocomplete in UI. (Which depends on form sync working correctly)
  • B2G (Geo/jhammink)
    • B2G and Gaia moving toward milestone 3, which culminates in the workweek during early may. Gaia has moved from a one-off UI to a real product. LOTS of changes landing!
    • John attending mozcamp LATAM from Thursday to next Monday (back in office on Wednesday); setting up "flash station" for b2g. and working tech-side with potential contributors. The goal, of course, is to get more community helping with QA.
      • Unfortunately, to this end, we're blocked on flashing to SGS2, which is key to our community strategy. Blocker is the "blackscreen issue" - flashing to SGS2 Gingerbread phones results in blank UI: https://github.com/andreasgal/B2G/issues/273
    • Test Planning ongoing for M3.
    • We're in talks now to start making Canonical Builds; as well as a daily-build process that can run non-interactively. Currently, we're spending way too much time on troubleshooting builds.

  • Pancake (nhirata)
