B2G/QA

Overview

B2G (Boot 2 Gecko) is a new and exciting web platform that Mozilla is developing on mobile devices. The project will focus on the following:

  • New web APIs: build prototype APIs for exposing device and OS capabilities to content (Telephony, SMS, Camera, USB, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.)
  • Privilege model: making sure that these new capabilities are safely exposed to pages and applications
  • Booting: prototype a low-level substrate for mobile devices (phones and tablets)
  • Applications: choose and port or build apps to prove out and prioritize the power of the system.


Team Details

The B2G QA team is committed to qualifying the full spectrum of testing from backend (Gecko) to Frontend (Gaia). Test coverage will include a range of manual execution steps, automated test coverage, proper documentation, and community involvement projects.

Bug Triage - QA Involvement

B2G does a daily triage to evaluate bugs for v1.1 that QA plans to be involved in on a daily basis. The below schedule shows who intends to show up to which triage on a weekly basis.

  • Monday 8am - David
  • Tuesday 4pm - Geo
  • Wednesday 8am - John
  • Thursday 4pm - Jason
  • Friday 8am - Tony, Tracy


This list just guarantees at least one representative to the daily triage meetings. Anyone can attend. I recommend as often as you can because there is invaluable communication, collaboration, and decision-making that creates a equal voice.

Environments

<this section to include the environments needed to run and setup B2G>

  • Weekly Builds - documentation on how daily and weekly builds will be generated. Direct build links will only be available to internal B2G team, but a manifest file supporting build information will be made public so others can build on their own environment.
  • Flashing a Daily build. This requires mozilla access only to retrieve the builds. But the steps are the same for flashing on any device.
