Status Updates By Team (*non-voice* updates)

QA

WebQA

• Pushing new Bouncer code to prod today
• Shipped Socorro 26 last week
• Have more stability with Marionette + Gaia smoketests themselves, now (14 passing, lots of pending pulls)

Automation & Tools

• We've now switched from marking intermittent failure bugs with whiteboard '[orange]' to a new keyword 'intermittent-failure' (bug 790571). The alias:randomorange bug has also been depreciated. Please file new bugs with the keyword to ensure TBPL, OrangeFactor & other tools see them.
• Modified xpcshell harness so it doesn't depend on having an objdir available - necessary for running on mobile in TBPL, bug 797153
• Mozpool (panda management for b2g) backend and API deployed
