Application

Front-end

  • Check tracking-fennec:9 bugs for anything assigned to you

UX design

  • Adding polish to the tablet UI, the Nightlies are looking great!
  • Please keep nagging ibarlow for UI input / feedback / assets

Testing

QA

  • New Hire: John Hammink; QA mobile
  • Concerns
    • bug 686763 - Nightly SIGILL related crash on honeycomb
    • bug 684714 - content shows through the URL bar and is scrollable
    • bug 686901 - ESPN full desktop site major checkerboarding/layout/zooming issues
      • kbrosnan is bisecting the ESPN bug
    • Related, new STR posted for bug 676780 - Fennec is unable to load webpages and close tabs
  • 7.0b6 signed off, now on market
  • Crash Report: Sept 19, 2011
  • Working on startup time assessment on various devices. Any particular phone models/families that need more attention than others?

Test Suites

Test Automation

* bug 687147 - crash on startup of fennec, fixed with a hack
* lots of other failures exist, mostly due to crashes of the browser or hangs during quit
* looking into adding in a 'make talos-remote' from an objdir, would this be useful for folks?
* click-to-play and e10s/non-e10s unittests?  this would double the load on the tegras, what is critical in testing in non e10s mode?
* simple wiki to decode [automation failures] on tegras

Release Engineering

android_tier_1

  • (fixed) bug 685242 - split try and non-try tegra pools
  • (fixed) bug 686748 - catch devicemanager exceptions in sut_tools scripts
  • (fixed) bug 687233 - foopies are running out of disk space
  • (fixed) bug 684871 - update dashboard for new tegras
  • (fixed?) bug 687156 - update pageloader max version to * from 9.0
  • (fixed) bug 687018 - intermittent dns failures in Android test jobs
  • (fixed) bug 669415 - new tegras online or distributed to developers; need to be hooked up to foopies

Overall, most purples/reds are now green or orange. Oranges are most likely due to the startup crash that Joel found last week.
