Goals Progress

Below are our top level goals. Beneath each goal, note any progress made towards that goal this week.

  • Ensure B2G has all test automation available to prepare for launch
    • [ON TRACK] Deploy B2G Test Automation into TBPL running on Emulator and Panda platforms.
      • Mochitests, reftests, and WebAPI tests are all running on emulators on TBPL, on all the trees that they're needed. All suites need additional coverage.
    • [ON TRACK] Maintain B2G dog food update server as well as builds for development and QA while working to hand them off to releng
    • [ON TRACK] Ensure all webAPIs testable through the emulator have comprehensive automated tests
    • [ON TRACK] Continue to aid QA in creating automated tests for B2G
  • Expand and stabilize Test Automation on new and existing device platforms for NEON and ARMv6 support.
    • [ON TRACK] Have APC.io boards chassis-ready -- rooted, smoketested, and working for ARMv6 testing
    • [ON TRACK] Monitor deployment of large scale android and B2G panda board testing, aid with bug investigations
    • [ON TRACK] Implement a new pool-based approach for device management in automation to increase stability on all device testing
    • [ON TRACK] Deploy Autophone with 40 phones and 70% up time
  • Create and deploy performance automation for desktop, fennec, and B2G product benchmarks
    • [ON TRACK] Create Eideticker tests for B2G on panda boards and run them once a day
    • [ON TRACK] Port Eideticker to win32 and run tests there once a day to measure win32 snappiness for desktop
    • [ON TRACK] Create pageload benchmark with networking shaper tests so that we can adequately track user-perceived performance across all devices and network types
    • [ON TRACK] Monitor Datazilla webservices and ensure our accuracy in detecting performance regressions on a per-push basis
    • [ON TRACK] Deploy Datazilla per-push UI to make it easier for developers to dig into the causes of performance regressions
  • Update our bugzilla instance to 4.2 providing many benefits from UI to helping people keep track of bugs/projects from within Bugzilla.
    • [ON TRACK] Complete the 'Sandstone' CSS update
    • [ON TRACK] Complete the REST API integration
    • [ON TRACK] Rework browserID <--> BMO integration
    • [ON TRACK] Deliver user and product dashboards
    • [ON TRACK] Deploy tracking flags extension database optimization
  • Make the process of sheriffing easier by updating TBPL and helping make it easier to handle the intermittent test problem
    • [ON TRACK] Aid with B2G changes so that B2G oranges tracked in Orange factor, B2g tests show up in TBPL
    • [ON TRACK] Make it easier to sheriff and diagnose issues through better notification and automatic suggestions of issues for intermittent failures
      • TBPL patch to allow distinguishing between Android Tegra and Android Panda now in production.
      • Various patches and bugs filed to make mozharness+TBPL more compatible with each other.
      • Investigation started into test harness timeout support issues, that limit TBPL starring potential.
    • [DONE] Split mochitest browser-chrome from mochitest-other to improve parallelism and overall turnaround time.
    • [ON TRACK] Make orange factor update more than once a day to help make it easier to see changes over time
    • [ON TRACK] Assist with getting Datazilla's UI integrated with TBPL, phase 1
  • Expand and Modernize the QA Automation framework as well as make it easier and more clear how to write automated tests for QA.
    • [ON TRACK] Finish and deploy mozmill 2.0 changes to frameworks and existing QA tests
    • [ON TRACK] Update selenium grid to use ESX on-demand to improve web QA capacity
    • [ON TRACK] Re-organize and improve the automated testing documentation at MDN
    • [ON TRACK] Develop tests for WebRTC, B2G and other high profile projects

Highlights

  • [henrik] We will have our first automation testday this Wednesday (Nov 14th) which is about B2G and getting people ready to run tests on devices or the emulator.

In-Depth Project Discussion

Pick one project/presenter per week who will give a detail presentation on their project.

The Overview

Progress, notes, problems, and other statuses about current projects. Add any new projects to this template!

AutoPhone/Noah's Ark

  • [bc] Have local versions of robocop, mochitest, reftest, crashtest and jsreftest running. Issues with displaying autolog results and logging that need to be worked out.
  • [mcote] Work on MozPool continues. It's been merged with bmm so it will take a bit more work to get it back into Autophone; focus is on deploying for B2G first.

Sheriffing & Trees

  • [edmorley] Was on PTO Friday.
  • [edmorley] Day-to-day sheriffing of the trees.
  • [edmorley] Filed bugs for the majority of cases where mozharness regresses TBPL starring capability (see dependants of bug 778688).
  • [edmorley] More preparation work for the switch from "[orange]" in whiteboard to keyword.
  • [edmorley] Investigation into bug 808410.
  • [edmorley] Patch for bug 808545.
  • [edmorley] Created a bookmarklet-based script to simplify the TBPL -> 'viewing job on the buildbot master' workflow (bug 809908).
  • [edmorley] Investigation into maxTime & timeout inconsistencies in our various test harnesses, causing wasted infra capacity due to excessive timeouts, as well as meaning we hit buildbot timeouts rather than handling in-harness and so lose debugging info & ability for TBPL to star.

Treestatus

Tinderboxpushlog

War on Orange

  • [edmorley] OrangeFactor patch for bug 807930.
  • [edmorley] Major drive this week to lower our OrangeFactor - is now ~25% lower than what it was the week before.
