Mobile Devices in 2013

• Forecast run-through by Irina

Status Update on Key Items

• Product announcements (Fx 18)
  • Met with JR Conlin (writing the front-end campaign mgmt tool)
  • Basic functionality implemented
  • Reporting/metrics is the major dependency
  • End-to-end testing can't be finalised until metrics sorted
  • Sam touching base with user engagement team to identify the key owner
  • Client code has landed
• Marketing campaign ID (Fx 17)
  • Erin to ping Daniel on metrics
  • Code landed in Fx 17, but need feedback on the blocklist ping
  • Need to close the loop on the security review
  • Finkle to try watching the blocklist pings are leaving the phone to check the URL (since the campaign data is in the URL)
• Light-weight themes - channel for distribution of themes (Fx 19)
  • Themes exist on add-ons.mozilla.org, but need a mobile-friendly site
  • Can browse on AMO for personas, but not mobile-ready yet
  • Calling them themes
  • Deb to see if a bug already exists
  • Let's ensure we have good themes on AMO ready to go
• ARMv6: 600MHz, 512MB, HVGA - testing? (Fx 19)
  • Some devices already on hand (Aaron), want QA requirements / specs to pass
  • External testing (mob4hire) have found one failure (was out of spec) and two devices passed
  • Let's follow-up with QA team on relevant testing in the future -> AI to setup
• Supporting all Android-supported locales (Fx 20)
  • Need builds with more data in it to get data
  • KR to email Axel on readiness of all our locales (dashboard)
  • Locales need to be solid before uplifting, so must be Aurora quality
• ARMv6: 600MHz, 384MB, QVGA - testing framework? (Fx 20)
  • Help find Erin bugs
  • Waiting on 2 win bugs
• Private browsing per tab (Fx 20)
  • Currently in QA
  • Chunks landed in nightly
  • Security wants to take a look / test
  • Some UI regressions and design inconsistencies (bugs being filed)
• Benchmarketing update
  • JP has been looped into list of proposed benchmarks and will run through specific feedback on the items
  • Vlad and team has been doing mobile benchmarking work in an automated fashion (not done yet), which can include competitors
  • Will have some data by the end of the week, and in the future we should be able to add further tests to the framework
• Website downloaded APKs as a distribution channel
  • Lots of previous conversations in the past
  • One reason we didn't implement was updater capability and confused user messaging
  • Would double the amount of builds we do (releng)
  • WebDev to put the page up
  • Extra burden on QA
  • To be thought about some more
