  • mochitest-gl very broken: bug 975487
  • Now seeing random crashes during mochitests and crashtests...and no crash reports!

Autophone

• Patch in review for bug 969518 - Autophone - attempt to use ethernet over usb.
  • Uses ppp over adb for s1s2 tests but wifi for SUTAgent connectivity.
  • Limited test results http://phonedash-dev.allizom.org/#/org.mozilla.fennec/totalthrobber/local-blank/norejected/2014-03-04/2014-03-05/notcached/errorbars/standarderror
  • Still need to investigate using iproute2's tc for traffic shaping.
  • Unknown as to possible improvement over current wifi networking.
  • Unknown as to scaling
  • Will require conversion of Autophone host to Linux
  • Requires phone's shell to be run as root. I will need to 're-root' the phones to get the shell to run as root.
  • Would like to schedule a down time period of a day or two to perform the conversion and to perform tests comparing Wifi networking to usb networking using the full set of phones. Perhaps over the weekend.
  • If this approach works, should we keep historical results or delete them and back fill on a limited basis?

Eideticker

• Fixed bug 978136 - wasn't compressing profiles before, which was causing disk on dashboard server to fill up. Should have plenty of room for more now.
• Backlog which I want to fix this week (really this time): bug 971477, bug 967109
