General

  • Definition of Q3 goals which would include automation training sessions:
    • Everyone in QA should have automation skills
    • We want to start training QA people working as QA feature owners on K9o projects
    • We would offer vidyo sessions once a week to solve problems and discuss open questions
    • What do you think about? Can we make that a goal for QA and Automation Development?

Projects

  • Mozmill 2.0
    • Lots of fixes for regressions in the last couple of days
    • In the next two weeks we are concentrating our work on the Python API to be able to have clean automation scripts
  • Mozmill CI
    • We are working on getting the ESX cluster setup for Mozmill testruns (daily builds, releases, and l10n tests)
