CI Automation
Welcome to the CI Automation team's landing page!
We work on a wide range of projects around Mozilla's core continuous integration (CI) pipeline. Some areas we focus on include:
- Performance: developing perf harnesses and standing up new benchmarks/measurements
- Testing: developing test harnesses and improving test stability
- Data: collecting CI related data, creating metrics and dashboarding
- Configuration: developing taskgraph and modifying which tasks run in CI
- Tools: developing the tools that Firefox core developers use to interact with CI
- Plus many other projects

Note on IRC communication
While IRC may appear to be a real-time communication channel, it is also used for asynchronous communication. Many people connect over persistent servers and will appear online even when away from their computers. Or sometimes they are simply busy at the moment and will respond when they have time. It's also easy for a question to get missed in a busy channel. So don't be discouraged if you don't get a response right away and don't be afraid to ask again at a later time.
Glossary
Mozillians use a dizzying amount of terminology that can make any new contributor's head spin. You'll often be able to find what you're looking for in the Glossary. If you come across something not mentioned there, feel free to ask us in IRC (and remind us to add it to the list).
