Regression Hunter

These tools allow Firefox developers to quickly and efficiently find regressions in mozilla-central. Current tools in this suite include

mozregression - interactive regression range finder that uses mozilla's nightly builds
mozcommitbuilder - general purpose building and regression-hunting tool that does branch-aware bisecting and takes a condition script (allows automatic regression hunting when supplied with an automated test)

Unused / Deprecated tools include

moztrybuilder - client that allows a user to request [branch unaware] bisection via pushlog and that builds on try
moztrypusher - a server that maintains a fresh local trunk and takes changeset requests to push to tryserver for builds

https://github.com/mozilla/mozcommitbuilder
allows a user to supply a condition script for fully automatic regression hunting
pulls a fresh mozilla-central trunk / supplies custom mozconfig and bisects by wrapping hg's bisect command (branch aware as of hg 1.9)
api allows other tools to use it to download a trunk or to perform other operations

These tools are not currently known to be in use but are still available on github.

Build server that can run on any build box e.g an AWS instance. Only requires python and some minor packages.

https://github.com/samliu/moztrypusher
Local python program that submits some changeset on the tree and pushes it to try for building, downloading the result.
