Happy May Day! (aka International Workers' Day, aka Labour Day)

Discussion Items

• QA Dev Day update (marcia)
  • Memory Leak session during BOF proposal (tomcat)
    • How to use Leak Gauge/How to file Memory Leak Bugs/Test Firefox with your Favorite Extension for Memory Leaks
  • Other [http://zak.greant.com/coaching-the-next-generation-of-foss-developers/ OSCON topics
    • Mini Test Event at OSCON [marcia]
      • LAST WEEK: Mary Colvig still does not have this solidified. If we can get the mini-dev room at OSCON I think we should have a test discussion/event there.
    • European Developer Day [marcia/clint]
      • LAST WEEK: Still waiting word on when it will be in June. As Firefox schedule segues into June, makes planning this much more difficult. At this point it might be better to move the event to the fall.
      • Most likely a test execution / automation discussion conference.
    • Seneca test day [ctalbert]
      • LAST WEEK: Test development workshop. Targeting those already in the work (sayrer, shaver, bc, martijn). Get seneca film school involved, reuse artifacts for teaching. How you can get involved with mozilla type of theme.
      • Slated for the fall quarter.

• Number of High regression count (marcia, tomcat)
  • what are the big ones? Library flicker
  • Is there a pattern? Narrow down by areas
    • Places seems to be suffering from the most regressions in the past 3 days [marcia]
  • What action do we want devs to take?
    • Discussion - download manager been crashing, regression. subscription to rss feed was broken, regression.
    • What to do? we been running random tests; running a smaller subset of tests in BFTs in specific areas like places. Keep tabs on what's landing, what areas are being unit tested. Keep up with bugs and checkins. And keep the devs reminded that you're here to help.

• QA Bug Bash day (tchung)
  • Meant to slot a few hours for people to catch up on Fx3 back work
    • Scheduled for wed, may 7th, 1-5pm PDT

• Adding a KeyHandling litmus test suite (tomcat, marcia, tchung)
  • eg. bug 429510, bug 35963, bug 429180
  • See the platform keyhell wiki.
    • Discussion - case by case basis. some of these bugs are l10n team related. others could be platform specific like mac. (marcia to bring this up at next l10n meeting)

• I'd like to add a "Library" subgroup to Litmus. The Bookmarks and History subgroups will address the Browser UI and related sidebar test cases. The Library subgroup will address all the functionality there. There will be overlap to be sorted out, but this will help reduce bloat in the Bookmarks subgroup. I'm about to add 40-50 test cases for the various editing modes. Most of which aren't really about Bookmarking, but are management/organizational test cases that don't really belong in Bookmarks.
