The Overview

• bugzilla
  • [dkl] Implemented AutoLand BMO extension for Lukas Blakk for integrating with Auto Try system (under review)
  • [glob] more push work (https://github.com/globau/bugzilla-push)
  • [glob] tweaked bmo's memory usage, no longer recompiling perl with each request
  • [glob] minor bmo updates (added 'cc count' column to bug lists, added sort-by-bug to user-activity-report)
  • [glob+dkl] administrative work, as always :)

• bughunter
  • [bc] Presented to the security and qa teams on friday.
  • [jeads] Fixed some more bugs
  • [jeads] Gave two presentations on bughunter on Mountain View (QA) and Santa Cruz (security). Good feedback coming in.

• marionette (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Marionette)
  • [mdas] Heavily updated documentation and comments
  • [mdas] Updated it so it loads as a component only if it is enabled via a build-flag and a pref is set
  • [mdas] added a 'make test' command to make it easier for the b2g guys to start testing with it.
  • [mdas] Added logging, so test users can add their own log messages (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Marionette/Marionette#Debugging)
  • [jgriffon] Many small bug fixes and improvements to make writing tests and running them easier and more reliable.
  • [jgriffon] Worked with QA to write some mozTelephony tests.
  • [jgriffon] Security review next Monday.
  • [jgriffon] Have a local copy of Jenkins running B2G builds and Marionette tests; will set up a production copy on EC2 next week, then work on re-purposing the existing gitbuilder machine as a Jenkins node that will perform automatic merges from m-c into B2G.

• pulse
  • [jgriffon] Work on setting up Nagios monitoring for pulse.
  • [jgriffon] Work on developing scripts to automatically identify mis-behaving pulse queues, which historically seem to have been the biggest source of problems.
  • [jgriffon] Trying to identify a better way of publishing buildbot messages to pulse that won't break consumers by unpredictable changes.

• fennec ARMv6 (bug 697205)
  • [ted] got an armv6 build successfully up and running with some local patches, just need to get things landed and then it's in RelEng's hands.

• signal from noise
  • [jmaher] starting to get clarity on limitations of how to run tests
  • [jmaher] first side by side staging is done, will reconfig early in the week
  • [jmaher+jhammel] lots of churn on cleaning up talos configuration and result parsing
  • [jhammel] Added user configurable data filters to talos (bug 723569). Interim step to moving all data processing out of Talos.
  • [jeads] Some headway in converting some bughunter javascript to work with s4n
  • [jeads] Got 4 hosted VM's from IT for use with s4n

• graphserver
  • [jhammel] talked with armen, jeads, and jmaher about plans for graphserver-next. Agreed on some fundamental architecture decisions:
    • We should be sending all data to graphsever
    • There should be a configurable way to apply filters and drill in to the data (jeads is working on the UI)
    • The schema needs to be reworked to both make sense and be more flexible

• mobile automation
  • [jmaher] robocop is landed and live on tbpl
  • [jmaher] working on updating the foopies (mobile device masters) with updated talos and toolchains
  • [jmaher] will turn on talos robocop tests hopefully next week
  • [jmaher+wlach] evaluating panda boards, working on getting builds and installation steps defined (http://pandaboard.org)
  • [mcote] made some much nicer looking graphs (http://10.250.2.223:8100/#/rawfennecstartup)
  • [mcote] updated the raw-fennec-start web UI. After some failed attempts at rooting phones, got the real-phone automation system ("autophone") running and making improvements on it.

• Addon compatible by default automation (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Compatibile_By_Default_Automation):
  • [wlach] no change

• Eideticker (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Eideticker):
  • [wlach] Some more work on Eideticker dashboard but project temporarily on hold while we sort out the issues with the card in mountain view.
  • [wlach] Spent time working to make MozRunner work on Android (https://github.com/wlach/mozbase/tree/mozrunner-remote/mozrunner/mozrunner)

• Ateam Services
  • [bc] Waiting on network configuration changes in Phoenix.

• jetperf harness (http://k0s.org/mozilla/hg/jetperf)
  • [jhammel] In beta state but good enough for production.
  • [jhammel] next steps: adding to buildbot and graphserver (though no concrete work there yet).

• peptest
  • [mcote] Prerequisite mozbase changes landed. Submitting a patch for peptest itself shortly.
