B2G Automation

Android Automation

Tools (1st/2nd Monday)

Bugzilla

BugzillaETL

FFOS Bug Status Dashboards. Used by project managers to track steps in the bug lifecycle. Uses public ES cluster, but could have used BZ just as easily. These are getting positive feedback because team managers can limit the view to only the components they are interested in, and it indicates stalled bugs with coloring.

Overall Status Dashboard - An attempt to show multiple releases and the overall bug status for each of the major teams. This was the first attempt at giving Andreas Gal a dashboard to see overall project state. It has too much information.

There is also desire to review triage/fix rates for the projects: Identify were fix effort is being spent, and understand how triage may be impacting fix rates. Specifically, perform a postmortem on 1.3 and see how to bring regression counts down.

BugHunter

  • Patch-Tuesday maintenance
    • Updated Windows and Flash
    • Windows XP no longer supported by Microsoft, but will continue to run XP workers as long as supported.
  • Installed VS 2012 on win61i32-bld, win61i64-bld.
    • Could not use VS 2012 on 32bit Windows builds due to lack of support for Windows XP. Still using VS 2010 for 32bit builds
    • Using VS 2012 for 64bit Windows builds
      • Re-enabled buildsymbols so that 64bit Windows builds now have proper stacks.
  • Helped diagnose recent regression in Nightly, Aurora and Beta bug 993918 which caused explosive increase in Assertion failure: data crashes.
