Automation

  • bug 688762 - fix return codes for remote harnesses, this should reduce hanging tegras
  • bug 687974 - adb support for talos
  • bug 688604 - make talos-remote, coming soon!

Mobile Perf Program

  • Can Joel or Clint talk to: bug 685632 - Please collect RSS (memory) data during Talos testing on Android
  • Also digging into helping Joel prioritize & drive which automated tests need to be fixed and helping with getting the hw lab scalable.
  • The focus this week is to create a perf metrics matrix so we can obtain baseline measurements. This is a grassroots effort so that we can create a snapshot of the areas we need to focus on optimizing on mozilla-central in time for the mobile work week. We are focusing on "Macro" or observed measurements and will likely use a 7D/HDMI camera to capture screens
  • Still need to land on what the spectrum of reference HW; targeting by the end of the week
  • A draft of the matrix which will be ready for circulation tomorrow (wed).
