QA Updates

_Going on_ :

Testing of RC1 going strong - we've reached 90% test coverage on the largest tests sets. Results are visible at <https://litmus.mozilla.org/test_run_report.cgi?test_run_id=56>. Missing tests are related to Proxies. The QA team is busy following bugs and test results as well as testing. The team would like to thank all the people who signed in and are participating or will participate.

_This week_ :

Focus is going to be on testing RC1/build2 and following bug reports. So our focus is going to be on litmus, build2 and bugzilla.

_Crash stats_ :

No stats this week as rc1 is unreleased. We would like to note that some people are crashing while sending emails, or are having issues with nightlies and sending emails. This is likely due to an api change in TB that affects enigmail - if you are using enigmail please update to the latest nightly which fixes the issue. http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/nightly.php

Top 5 GS Thunderbird 2 Support Topics (code in progress: http://gist.github.com/190923 ) basically the same as last week
1. Cannot send email (ongoing issue with 2 AT&T Yahoo customers, no pattern, other AT&T Yahoo customers fine!)
2. Cannot receive email
3. migration to Vista and Windows 7 from XP - need to write a KB article for this
4. email lost (fixed by compacting folders and deleting .msf)
5. importing address books - need to write a KB article for this
Thunderbird 3 Beta Top Support Issues (starting to monitor to see what we can improve for post 3.0)
1. 2 reports of not being able to send or receive email when upgrading 2.0.0.23 to TB 3 RC1 Build 1 non en-US version e.g. GB- fixed by copying signons.sqlite
SUMO for MoMo tracker ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520628, TB3 Global Database KB
