Notices / Schedule

Performance

GFX

  • Graphics BugKill day this Friday, October 7.
    • We'll be spending our full day triaging our old bugs, trying to get down to a manageable number.
    • If you're interested in participating or observing, please email Joe now.
  • Draft Q4 goals for the Graphics group are now available.
    • If it's on the goals list, we'll be focusing on it in earnest with a plan of finishing it this quarter.
    • If it's on the "Other important Q4 work" list, we'll probably be working on it, but it's either not big enough to be a goal or unlikely to be finished in Q4.
    • We include both goals and "Other important work" to ensure both: that you know what we're working on, and that we're always working on the most important thing.
    • Please let us know if this isn't the right set of goals!

JS

Video

Mobile Perf Program Wiki has landed. This has program goals and status. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile_Performance

Last week: We have a testing matrix people seem happy with. Check out the above wiki page to review. (We are also covering iOS browsers on Apple HW). The wiki just has some thumbnails to preview. I will find a more permanent home for this info.

This week: We need to land on standardized methodology for testing and analysis. I am drafting this up and will shop around to eng and qa for approval in time for Aaron Train's QA testing day this Friday.
