Goals Overview

Risky Goals

Project Status

On-demand update tests (Geo/Henrik)

  • Finished to the demo stage
  • Now does the staged download from config file and Pulse multiplexed kickoff
  • Demoed for Matt on 2/22
  • Need to plan for deployment on qa-set

Endurance Tests (Dave/Anthony)

  • Working on several new tests including Panorama and Flash tests
  • Hopefully submitting a patch this week for the --addons command line parameter
  • Attempting to replicate performance related bugs

Panorama Tests (Anthony/Al)

  • 2 tests landed but had to be backed out due to unseen regressions during local testing
  • Clay is helping us investigate
  • remaining tests still in development

Redesign Shared Modules (Geo/Henrik)

  • Sprint 1 finished, branch diff under review by Henrik
  • Sprint 2 underway
  • Henrik has done initial implementation of assert/expect modules, needs revision after feedback from A-team
  • Geo has picked Back/Forward/Home button tests to begin porting in order to flesh controls, is in process now.
  • Some open questions remain about how to align this with A-team's plans for Mozmill 2.0 and possibly Add-ons SDK testing in the future.

Shadow test server (Al/Henrik)

  • Still waiting for IT to create the VM.
    • Apparently we now need a security review in order for this to happen. No updates from security team yet when asked how to do this.
  • Anyone with work blocked by this should file a bug and make it dependent on bug 621794.

Others

Mozmill Crowd

  • Investigating a way how to distribute Mercurial pre-installed in test environments without requiring the user to install Xtools on OS X (bug 545432)

Dashboard

  • Targeting a couple of minor fixes to enhance the handling of queries

Cloud Automation (Al/Henrik)

  • Al is going to examine use of Amazon for Linux VMs.

    • We are clean except some latest regressions introduced by website and client changes (3 failures)
  • Firefox 3.5/3.6 (Anthony/Aaron)
    • no change
    • website regressions (above) affect branches as well

Personal Status

For the personal status please check the weekly status updates:

Roundtable

General
  • [CARRY OVER] WebQA Test Automation status inclusion?
  • Refactoring the mozmill-tests repository
    • As more and more test-runs get added as more confusing the current structure is
    • Proposal:
      • addons
      • endurance
      • lib (formerly shared-modules/)
      • general (formerly firefox/)
      • l10n
      • restart (probably not necessary with mozmill 2.0)
      • test-files
      • update
  • Work week to follow all-hands?
  • Module refactor, Add-Ons SDK and other external concerns?
