Desktop Stability
Nightly
mc2 crash rate: 1.75, crash incidence: 2.77%, mc1 summary score: 8.24 thursday mc2 crash rate: 1.85, crash incidence: 4.68%, mc1 summary score: 8.80 Last week top crashers are fixed, these medium crashers are still visible:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1653563 high and not triaged (overholt also asked Amy) (oops, telin did as well)
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1650748 has patch (nightly only crash)
Beta
mc2 crash rate: 1.39, crash incidence: 1.05%, mc1 summary score: 4.43 thursday mc2 crash rate: 1.81, crash incidence: 1.57%, mc1 summary score: 4.48
[79.0rc1] little stability data available - so far no concerns
- according to mc, stability on linux may be decreasing - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1645776 is one of the potential causes
Release
mc2 crash rate: 1.36, crash incidence: 0.78%, mc1 summary score: 1.72 thursday mc2 crash rate: 1.37, crash incidence: 0.83%, mc1 summary score: 1.81
Mobile Stability
Fennec
- Crash rate is calculated based on usage hours (the time Firefox is actively used).
- Usage hours will be significantly lower on Fennec than on desktop Firefox, so we can't compare mobile rates to desktop rates.
Fenix
- Fenix crashes are now displayed by crash-stop in Bugzilla. Ex: https://bugzilla.mozil la.org/1653172
- Version numbering on Fenix is still chaotic, all nightlies are 0.0a1 - https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/10941
- No correlation with patches landed at the moment
QA
Nightly
- Nightly feature testing and pre-merge Regression testing are in progress, to be completed by Thursday, July 23
- FC due: tomorrow. Following features haven't landed/not ready for testing
- (PI-645) Remote Settings & WDBA MVP
- (PI-644) WebGL Remoting – blocker issue (Bug 1632249) still not properly patched
- [overholt] I think we need a different bug here because that one is RESOLVED FIXED
Aurora / Dev Edition
Beta
- pre-release feature QA sign-offs were completed last Friday, all the sign-offs were Green
- Beta 79 End-to-End Testing (dry run) was completed last week. One new bug was filed: Bug 1544299 (S3). Known bugs are not severe
