Round Robin Status

• Guest Contributor's Status
• Henrik
  • Reorganization in QA last week, there is now a test automation group there
  • Wednesday meetings of the test automation team at 1:30PDT, bi-monthly
  • Reorganized community facing Mozmill test automation project page
  • Brasstacks couch instance is down again, looks like it is running only a day at a time.
  • worked with Adrian Kalla to get Mozmill reading dtd files so that Mozmill can now work with localized UIs
  • Might have found a regression in 1.4.1, will take offline

• Clint
  • Last Week
    • Started investigating the Recorder issues with new UI in Mozmill, found they are more pervasive than that.
    • Started working on bringing up new test VMs on the ESXi box at my desk, they are available to the team for development - will have a Ubuntu 64 bit server, RHEL 5 server 64 and a windows 7 machine when it is all said and done.
    • Worked with Bc to get ready to roll out the crash automation system
  • This week
    • Continuing to work on Mozmill recorder issues
    • Working on brasstacks stability issues

• Bob (bc)
  • Last week
    • Worked to get ready for roll out of crash automation system, decided to look into a way for workers to share their builds
    • This turns out to be a good idea for a number of reasons, triagers can download the builds as well as minimizing the disk space requirements of the VMs
    • Have a BuildWorker class that can collaboratively share the build jobs
  • This week
    • Implement the changes in the crashworker and unittest worker to download and install the builds
    • Bandwidth might be an issue w.r.t. the couchdb server serving these builds as we ramp up the number of VMs requesting a build, but we can review that during the rollout.

• Joel
  • Last Week
    • Ran a bunch of tests using the python test-agent and the n900.
    • Hit some issues with the SSL tests, created a simple mochitest manifest to exclude tests to get them to run end to end (works at the SimpleTest layer)
    • Got Reviewboard setup, made some progress, still open bugs
  • This Week
    • Will set up a local reviewboard and a simple splinter installation and let the team preview it, give feedback and then let the wider engineering leads review and provide feedback.
    • Will send an email when it is ready.

• Jonathan
  • Last Week
    • Crossweave has bookmark syncing working
    • Still using manual account generation because the weave team has not provided an open server for that yet. BLOCKED on weave team.
  • This week
    • Continuing working on the python side of the CrossWeave test harness, will leverage the Dirty Harry project work that Heather is using.
    • The Purify box is back, and will begin setting that up again.

    • Moved to Mountain View!
  • This Week
    • Working on the fallout from that realization
