Our latest A/B experiment derived data set indicates we have work to do on stability before we're ready to ship to beta. We are, however, hitting our goals in many areas of our [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Release_Criteria release criteria] such as Page Load, Startup/Shutdown time, and Scrolling. We still have work to do in areas such as UI Smoothness, Plugin Jank, Memory Usage, and GFX Performance but not to the level that would necessarily block beta. We have made excellent progress in our cadence of deploying A/B experiments and quickly ascertaining the data so we have hit a place where we are tightly coordinated and people are empowered with the right data to move on issues swiftly. Another important thing to note is that we are currently using the System Add-On to deploy our A/B experiments so we are testing the mechanism we designed to ship e10s rather than using experiment code. | ||
* The team has shifted to burning down M9's [https://wiki.mozilla.org/E10s/Status/m9]. M9 tickets need to hit zero before we're ready to do our cohort release for GA. M9 is focused on fixing issues derived from our Telemetry A/B experiments such as top crashes, regressions, and backlog items deemed to be blockers by product. We have hit a stage where a portion of the M9's are the responsibility of teams outside of the e10s team so we will be rolling those tickets into central triage managed by RelMan to help with load balance. | * The team has shifted to burning down M9's [https://wiki.mozilla.org/E10s/Status/m9].

Incoming data from our latest A/B experiment indicates we have more work to do on the stability side. Given that we are at week 4 in our dev cycle leading to Firefox 47 beta, we will likely continue to do experiments in Beta 47 vs. releasing to a % of our cohort population. | |||
