Goals Progress

Below are our top level goals. Beneath each goal, note any progress made towards that goal this week.

Goal: Continue to deliver B2G automation support for in house developers and partners - jgriffin & team
Goal: Create new Performance measurement tool with performance team to measure startup using the best of our new tools - mozharness/mozbase/datazilla. - jmaher & perf team
Goal: Support next generation android efforts by getting Android x86 virtualized environments to run mochitests - bc
Goal: Improve test slave capacity by allowing linux desktop tests to be entirely virtualized for tests that do not need hardware support. - jmaher & Releng
Goal: Build to support future capacity for workflow and performance by:
- Deploying Bugzilla 4.2 - dkl, glob
  - Original date for 4.2 deployment and move to SCL3 of March 8 is potentially not good due to conflict with [http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2013/01/17/pwn2own-2013 pwn2own] conference, which might result in chemspill releases. Considering moving it to March 4; discussions in progress.
- Publicizing and starting on an effort to revamp TBPL - jeads, edmorley & team
- Updating test harnesses to use mozbase and mozharness and creating a migration plan for moving to better test reporting across the board (migration planned for Q2 to coincide with TBPL v2 delivery) - jhammel & ahal
- Revamp GoFaster measurement tools - camd
- Create plan for triage workflow and begin triaging according to it - lizzard
- Make all QA centered automation ready for rapid betas to allow the desktop team to work faster - Henrik & team
