Manual Testing

WebRTC

Using the Moztrap test as a guideline, verify that Firefox 23.0.1 is no worse than Firefox 22.0 when making AppRTC calls of >5 minutes in length. When testing, here are the guidelines to follow:

  • Have only one browser open on each machine at any given time
  • Have only one call running at any given time on a particular machine
  • Make sure the caller and callee are always on *different* machines.
  • Please don't test any 3+-way calls for this sanity check -- We just want to see the results for 1:1 (basic) calling
  • If you find regressions, report a bug and CC Randell and Maire; they can help track down if the regressions are real or not
    • Tip: be sure to provide extremely detailed steps to reproduce and witnessed results, as well as detailed information about your test environment; more information is better than not enough information.

Post-Mortem

Successes

The following is a list of things which did go well with Firefox 23 from Nightly through to Release.

  • Developer Tanvi Vyas went above and beyond, working with QA (and many other parties) to make sure her feature (Mixed Content Blocking) was well-understood and well-tested.
    • affected sites tracked
    • a lot of community documentation
    • for the future, highlight this as a good model for working with developers
    • go to someone and ask how you can help
    • be proactive in reaching out to developers
  • Coordination of release (emails, tasks, etc) went really well, it's clear what needs to get done when

Failures

The following is a list of things which did not go well with Firefox 23 from Nightly through to Release.

  • bug 901527 Audio static/"burble"/breakup in mozilla to mozilla webrtc calls
    • Was not reported until nearly the last Beta
    • WebRTC testing was not a high priority in our Beta testing
      • come up with a better way to track high priority areas that aren't necessarily in the scope of feature testing and the existing Beta checklist
      • work closer with Asa and Developers to get greater visibility, not just in features but high-risk landings
      • add features from current release to regression suite for next release or two
  • bug 901944 Rendering glitches on H.264 video only in FF23 on Vista
    • High-risk areas need coverage on a broader range of platforms/hardware
    • What happened here proves a quite serious communication problem between QA and dev. The QA working on the H264... support feature was told it's only for Windows 7 and 8 and never got further updates. bug 847267 (which caused bug 901944) wasn't added as a dependency to the tracking bug either bug 799318. The feature information tracking should get improved. Otherwise we might get left with the only option of spamming devs with emails requesting for updates every week (a situation unpleasant for everyone).
    • I think we might be getting to a point where visibility of engineering work to QA (or lack thereof) is negatively impacting the quality of the product
      • status emails are sent prior to uplift but that might miss certain uplifts -- should increase frequency of these emails
      • use need-info request on tracking bugs to get the information we need, and block on it if necessary
  • bug 904001 Block rlnx.dll, pmnx.dll, opnx.dll, prnx.dll 1.3.334.9 (Relevant Knowledge 1.0.2)
    • We were unable to verify this due to old versions of the installer not being available
      • Part of a bigger problem, don't have an extensible mechanism to block libraries before we load Firefox
      • Matt to connect Security Assurance team, Brian Bondy with the Stability team
  • bug 902532 Spellchecking broken with non-ASCII characters in profile path
    • Discovered following release
    • Can/should this be covered by automation?
      • Not in Mozmill, possibly in Marionette -- carry this discussion forward
    • Can/should we be doing more edge-case testing than common-case testing?
      • look at our coverage and where our blind spots are
      • any automated test involving strings should cover strings with non-ASCII characters
  • bug 902173 "[fr] Outils" wrongly translated to "Outils de développement" in menu since FF 23
    • Locale-specific issue reported to us in Release, was not in any other branch
    • Can/should we be engaging with localizers to be involved in RC sign-off?
      • run an l10n testday for RC
      • reach out to Axel to see if we can get localizer feedback during the RC cycle
  • bug 902349 crash in nsStyleSet::FileRules with AMD Radeon HD 6310
    • We were not able to reproduce this issue despite having hardware previously known to reproduce these types of issues
      • We are doomed unless we can get engineers engaged in fixing this
      • QA is doing everything we can, Marc to talk to Bob about dev involvement
      • Tracy: Is it the same machine in RelEng farm building the "broken" builds?
        • No, it's an issue with how optimization works at build time.
    • Question whether doing twin RC builds is worth the QA/RelEng resources as compared to just respinning on occasion
      • QA needs to run full automation on both builds, regardless if we don't ship build2
      • RelEng needs to generate both builds, clean up build2 if we decide to ship build1
      • Stability rarely, if ever, has enough data to say conclusively if a build is good or not
      • Having multiple builds has not prevented us from having to ship a follow-up build in this instance
      • After 4 releases (24 weeks) dealing with this, can we do some statistical, risk, and cost-benefit analysis to justify doing this further?
    • For further consideration, what's our strategy if we have no more leads and have to just live with this issue?
  • Features lists for this release were not centralized anywhere, so at least one feature did not get to QA: Network Monitor.
  • The beta scope was not adapted to the new 2 betas per week process, which created QA overhead.
  • Invalid/unclear tests in MozTrap.
    • Unclear tests should be updated. If their owner can't do that, the QA team is willing to take on that. Some of these tests can lead to invalid bugs (e.g. bug 900457).
    • Some of these tests are present in the ESR smoke tests too (e.g. save and open test, play videos test etc - we took the liberty of updating where it was only neccesary to change the links in order to be able to run the tests).
      • Otilia to get SV to roll up unclear/failed tests into the Release/Beta testing emails

Mitigating Strategy

The following is a list of actions we can/should take to build on our successes and prevent similar failures.

  • [ashughes] come up with a better way to track high priority areas that aren't necessarily in the scope of feature testing and the existing Beta checklist
  • [mschifer] work closer with Asa and Developers to get greater visibility, not just in features but high-risk landings
  • [ashughes] add features from current release to regression suite for next release or two
  • [otilia] increase frequency of feature status emails during Aurora/Beta
  • [QA] use need-info flag on tracking bugs for outstanding/blocking status request
  • [mwobensmith] connect those working on providing a more extensible system for blocking libraries at startup
  • [ashughes] Investigate with Henrik whether bug 902532 can be covered by Marionette, also non-ASCII string testing, failure of Mozmill if DTD is wrong
  • [QA] Audit current coverage areas and identify blindspots, particularly edge-case coverage
  • [ashughes] run an l10n testday for RC periodically, talk to Axel about support and getting localizers more engaged in RC testing
  • [ashughes] continue discussing viability of "twin build" strategy
  • [softvision] roll up failed/unclear Moztrap tests into the "Firefox N Testing" emails so we can fix broken tests
  • [ashughes] raise discussion about running a weekly QA post-mortem (modeled from RelEng's meetings)

All-hands Post-mortem

Discussion

  • is generating build2 for RC worth it?
  • need a single source of truth for features
  • should we make Beta 10 RC1, offer it to Beta users, to get more stability soak time?
  • relationship building between QA, Dev, and other teams

Actions

  • joduinn to investigate desktop repack - channel changing
  • bsmedberg to run his script on build#1 crash data
    • if we can find it, then we'll continue making build #2 automatically
    • if we can't find it, then we'll stop making build #2 and make more dot releases :(
    • result: found no crashes with build1 so we need to discuss dropping build2 from our standard process; this will mean potentially doing more .1 releases and some weekend work; a risk and trade-off we are willing to make I think based on prevalence
  • lsblakk to create meeting about RC instead of beta 10
    • QA supports this; stop doing Beta 10 and offer Beta/RC users the same RC1 build; grants us a couple more days of soak time for stability
  • lsblakk to speak to Laura about finding out about putting in a tab for users about a specific change - timing, finding out sooner - what causes/guidelines about when to do this
  • lsblakk - check with Axel if having a hook on l10n repos for key/visible string would help protect localization teams from errors like [fr] tools in the future; especially for string changes
  • akeybl to start a discussion about a single source of truth for feature tracking; potentially reuse wiki portal for bug queries; ex. https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Akeybl/Release_Dash
  • ashughes/tracy to start discussion in a channel meeting about getting more value out of Aurora; current value is low because it's our lowest audience; Tracy suggests rebranding might help; Alex suggested scrapping Aurora; Jonath advocates for three branches (1 dev, 2 testing); Brendan does not see a need nor urgency due to B2G
