QA Status/Topics

  • Question: what is the best working PRD document to be working off of? (PRD wiki or google spreadsheet)
    • mconnor: wiki document linked from these notes
    • timr: it's way out of date, we can't really track against it
    • action item: beltzner and mconnor to figure out a way to keep it up to date
  • Draft Fx 3 Test Plan wiki
  • Working on M9 features and test plans. Lots landing, daily smoketests and trunk landing verifications.
  • Work continues on Feature Test Plans linked from the Firefox 3 Test Plan Wiki.
  • This week's testday will focus on Security and Privacy
  • Testing, Verifying, Testing, Documenting, Testing...
  • timr: will we have a performance sheriff?
    • beltzner: it was decided that the sheriff should also monitor performance, but as people land changes which could impact perf, they should inform the sheriff or keep an eye on the changes
    • timr: who's looking at trend analysis?
    • mconnor: the perf team should be monitoring for that, but avoiding the little increases would be good
    • jonas: making the performance graphs more visible would be useful
    • schrep: being able to see the major metrics across all the machines which are linked-to from the tinderbox page would be the easiest way

Build Topics

Localization Topics

  • choffman: a few teams are keeping up to date with changes, and we should figure out how to ship them with the first beta
  • mconnor: the plan should be that any locales ready for beta should be shipped with the beta
  • choffman: conversely, seeding the smaller teams with a list of what is more or less locked down would be helpful to get them up to speed.

Round table

  • Documentation work is ongoing; see the documentation plan for details and to be sure your areas of interest are planned for coverage. We're evaluating all bugs tagged with the dev-doc-needed keyword as well to see which of them need to be documented for Firefox 3.
  • Where are we on help content? Will it go in the browser or on SUMO?
    • SUMO is being built, no resource applied to moving content
    • no actual plan to do this for Firefox 3 at this time, just desire
    • help contributions should be made in-product, and if we decide to migrate over, we'll do so using some scripts
