QA
[nhirata: updated 1/15/2016]
- Reminder : Please update to the v5 base build; you can FOTA via the server or can force a FOTA, or do a full flash : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Phone_guide/Flame/Updating_your_Flame
- Taipei team are trying to wrap up QAing for 2.5
- Most of US/Euro is ramping up on automation and/or migrating test cases
- three relatively new people : Michael, Isabel, and Kate
- Johan is the lead on foxlink
- nhirata is looking at vaani ( which might get passed off to someone else )
- US QA contractors were downsized from 10 to 6. QA Wanted might be impacted, we're trying to figure out how to make due; since they are contractors, we run the risk of paying more if we teach them automation.
- in order to scale, we'll need to improve automation greatly and scale our volunteers/contributors. In order to keep contributors engaged, we'll need support in contributor bugs being at least responded to... Please help! :)
- To what purpose are we going to maintain contributor support if we have no idea what direction b2g is going?
