Roundtable

General

• Handling of Mozmill tests in Q2
  • Before the API is ready, we would like to start with tests for the Discovery pane in the Add-ons Manager
    • Krupa already has been started to create tests in Litmus
    • Tests in that area have lesser impact to any API refactoring changes.
  • Once basic new API is ready, Geo would like to have feedback from Waverly folks
  • We will start to built-up the maps and shared modules for the browser window and the add-ons manager tab
  • New tests will be written against the new UI, and exiting tests for the AOM can be ported.
  • Owners will take care of tests in their area for porting (we will not be able to port all existing tests)
• Need to nail down process for Waverly's involvement in our test porting
  • We'd like to move faster than traditional bug/review process may allow for
  • Since we're not involving arbitrary community initially, can probably afford something closer to an internal workgroup-style process
  • Decision is too big for this meeting, need to schedule a breakout

Meeting Notes

• Goals
  • Porting of existing tests
    • How many of the tests we want to port over? The current wording implies that we have to port all of them.
    • We should update the number to tests which exercise about 80% of the API

• Projects
  • Shadow server:
    • Henrik: Should we use the EV cert on AMO?
      • Their web app is slow, especially when new releases happen
      • How much work and costs are implied when we want to have our own cert?

Action items

• Geo: Work with Anthony to get the on-demand update testing running on qa-set (around 27th)
• Geo: communicate proposal for patch handling to the group
• [DONE] Henrik: Update wording for the goal to port existing tests
