RoundTable

Welcome to Trevor Fairey, our new Mountain View based Intern.

Goals

Work with release engineering to reduce overall end-to-end time from push to test result to an average of 2 hours.
Ensure all harnesses and tests are E10S ready
Improve performance testing by finalizing user-activated addons performance system, xperf-enabled performance testing, and automating a user responsiveness performance test.

Mozmill 2.0/1.5.x (P1) - jhammel, harth, ctalbert
- last A*Team bug....done?
- a little debris lying around: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=mozmill-2.0%2B&product=Testing&resolution=---&list_id=1193939 ; need to triage
- QA uptake: unknown

Crossweave 2 - jgriffin
- Still working on patch to expose Sync API's to Mozmill tests
- Sync is getting a new feature: ability to sync add-ons (including install, upgrade, and delete)...need to start working on a plan to add testing for this into TPS.

SpeedTests (P2) - mcote
- Mostly done new client, which runs each test in its own browser session rather than chaining them together, and proxies results through the local client.
  - This isolates the tests, in case one test causes a crash.
  - This also allows results to be presented locally, so users can run the suite without submitting results to the central db.
- Working on a new results front-end.

Eideticker (P2) - mcote
- Dev machine was shipped last Thursday; should hopefully arrive this week.

War on Orange/Auto-log (P1) - jgriffin, mcote
- Security review is underway; mcote answered some questions and helped the reviewer set up a local copy for investigation. No results yet.
- bug 680164 was discovered using OF data; fixing this problem has resulted in a comedy of 20 oranges, all of which were not being reported in TBPL due to this bug.

Bugzilla Improvements (P1) - dkl, glob
- inline-history deployed
- deployed new firefox review flag and mechanics
- new: abusive comment reporting mechanism (pre-planning stage)

- Some small changes to Splinter and the Mozilla Reps forms pushed out.
- Various other small changes and administrative tasks

DXR Automation/Support {P2} - mdas
- Focused on mochitest stuff this past week since there's no DXR lead yet, and probably won't be for a month, but jcranmer (former intern) is now more available and I can refer to him. Will be working on this after profiling suite is done.

Overheard in the Mountain View office this morning...

BMOSS walks in
BMOSS: Hi Jeffrey! Back from SF?
JHAMMEL: Yeah...haven't figured out vidyo from there...
BMOSS sits down, realizes phone is dead, starts pulling the battery out to reset it.
BMOSS (mutters): I'll be glad when your replacement gets here you stupid piece of crap.
JHAMMEL: Bob, you know I can hear you, right?
