- Much work regarding mapping UCs to testcases; filling in missing testcases; syncing our process closer to TEFs.
- Still running smoketests, starting to run regression tests as features land and test suites become available.
- dogfooding devices are slowly rolling out now, bugs incoming
- QA working through a qawanted list
- Last Week
- More update testing for dogfood work. Currently 6 blockers: http://mzl.la/dogfood-blockers
- usecases wrap up last week, need to move to creating testcase suites to match them (browser, email to start)
- new smoketest status field: "partial". this is a yellow cell that may "pass" with conditions (eg. crashed and rebooted app twice to get the video smoketest to pass)
- Discussion around performance and stability metrics. David Clarke will be driving a discussion around this with a few teams to start (slimfast, gecko, gaia)
- https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.gaia/NnmCpJ4aNbA/discussion
- Mostly focusing on
- closing bugs
- mapping use cases to test cases
- We need to ensure that - after new testcases in MT post UC review - that dev owners can vet the suites. Mtreese should invite a QA person to these UC sessions for starters.
- Blockers:
- Bug 801045 - Can't enter numbers
- see the other smoketest blockers in your daily report
UX Visual Design
- New MozTT font has landed. Check your apps and system components for any layout issues that may have occured due to the change.
Implement using font-face: MozTT. Note: Font Matrix created for size translation from Opens sans to MozTT to help with this.

- Minor VsD tweaks ongoing.
Dialer (Etienne, Josh, Borja, German, Fernando, Ayman's specs, Steve's visual design) - Phone number normalization (Borja and Etienne working on it) - USSD (Germán) - already done:
- Currently discussing if further work is needed on the UI side after the inclusion the USSD session ending (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794011). - BB for Headers and Input Fields (USSD) have been applied
- Multiple calls visuals landed
- The Dialer in now OOP \o/
Incoming call in Lock screen (swipe gesture to receive the call) already implemented
- We've managed to include the "fixed headers" functionality in the call log so users have a clear view of what day they are seeing the calls of.
- Information about the phone type and carrier (if any) is shown in the attention screen, outgoing calls screen and the call log.
- SPRINT GOALS:
Polish polish polish :) <-- yeah Include
- This week
- New CSP needs code changes.
- USSD:
- Update of the USSD functionality according to the latest UX guidelines already done (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yrd9mmj9w08x2c0/OWD%20USSD%20V02%2020120921.pdf) .
- Bug reported regarding notifying the closing of a USSD session: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794011 Guillermo is still working on it
- There is another issue under discussion with the "platform guys" regarding the closing of USSD sessions by any app with access to mozMobileConnection or only by the "owner" of the session. The USSD feature only accepts 1 active connection at a time as defined by the specification. This issue is related to the fact that more than 1 app may want to send USSD messages (such as the Dialer app and the Cost Control app) and a proper management of the connections has to be made in these situations.
- The bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794011 is finally solved. To this regard, we'll have a meeting tomorrow (X, 24th) to discuss and to decide if further work is needed on the UI side.

Email (Andrew (:asuth), Jim Porter (:squib), Casey (:cyee), Steve(:schung), Naoki(:nhirata), Dominic (:dkuo)
- Was Bad News, now Good: MozTCPSocket is undefined (affecting IMAP) under our nightly Otoro builds because of a dumb Makefile error than landed on Oct 4th; we just identified the problem, will get a fix in today: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798740
- Things slowing us down:
- asuth: painting problems/homescreen crashes on linux b2g-desktop, even having trouble just pushing profiles to the device. Self-build from today seems better?
- Fixes on-deck:
- [Steve and Dominic] Various UI cleanups in the front-end; asuth reviewing now (b2g complicating testing...)
- [dkuo] Apply header and button BB for email
- [asuth] Autoconfig fixes for 404's; co-mingled with move/delete patch, waiting on that
- [asuth] IMAP timezone server fixes, re-greening of unit tests; co-mingled with move/delete patch
- [Steve and Dominic] Various UI cleanups in the front-end; asuth reviewing now (b2g complicating testing...)
- Very soon now:
- [asuth] IMAP move/delete support (with various other job fixes) and tests; optimistically hoping to have it operational per tests late today, otherwise tomorrow.

Cost control
- Most ot the functionality landed in Gaia
- The cost control functionality should be only available if a Vivo SIM is inserted.
- Data usage part is blocked on bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746069
- [Casey] This week: There has been several complaints about unwanted SMS charges on peoples personal accounts due to this feature while dogfooding. It would be make sense to add some sort of toggle for this feature. It shoud be solved.
It is not OOP but making it OOP need a deep though about the features and architecture
- Affected by SMS DOM API removal.
- Data Usage Charts landed but incomplete (not handling time periods without the SIM: gaps)
Everything.me Rafa, Josh, Cristian
- Are driving conversation around Wrapper, here: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/2557

Font Patryk
- [Casey] This week: Font has been landed and is ready for use in Gaia.
- from mwu: for any future changes in the fonts, feel free to commit directly to the moztt repo - https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/moztt .As long as the file names do not change, no special changes are required. If files are added/removed/renamed, I can update the fonts. (adding/removing fonts requires updating two repos).
- Please test apps using font-family: MozTT, the font should be quite similar to Open Sans with regards to size, weights and other font properties. It should be a simple straightforward replace -- @Patryk can confirm correct font implementation.
- Next steps: Implement font as main font in Body.
