  • Enable performance and test automation to run on Android x86 hardware, investigate Android 2.3.x support on Pandas.

Deep Dives

Mobile (1st Monday)

AutoPhone/Noah's Ark

• Purchased 20 sdcards
• Installed new sdcards in all phones with external sdcards and am retesting since 5/25. There may be a slight performance change due to the new cards.
• Will file bug later today to add ability to configure sdcard via SUTAgent.ini since phones with internal sdcard storage expose their external cards at different paths.
• Had mobile deep dive last week. Notes: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/mobile-deepdive
