WebRTC

  • Nada.

War On Orange

  • A few more small bug fixes.
  • Submitted a presentation abstract to TestIstanbul conference.
  • Going to start splitting long queries into many shorter ones to avoid excess load on ES server.
    • This will make it possible to add the tool to estimate when oranges were introduced ("Orange Seed") without killing the database. May renew interest in the War on Orange.
  • IT fixed the source of the killer ES latency.

Other

  • jgriffin setting up a b2g build machine.

Round Table

  • Rebooted brasstacks to see if that would magically fix the awful latency when accessing the ES database. It didn't, and a number of things failed to restart gracefully; mcote wrote up a summary (Intranet link) of what went wrong.
    • In the end, IT fixed the routing problem themselves. Access had only been granted to one of the three addresses that the ES server's hostname resolved to, resulting in a connection timeout 2/3 of the time.
  • mcote starting the Automatic Testing Guide, a very short summary of all our frameworks along with a Q & A (or flowchart?) to help people decide what framework to use when they want to add a test.
    • We *need* to keep this up to date. mcote recommends that, every two weeks, the meeting MC goes over the guide to make sure it's not full of lies.
