QA runs a valuable set of release tests on Firefox using Mozmill, which is not e10s compatible. To address this, we're going to enable the conversion of mozmill tests to Marionette, which will support e10s, and which has better ongoing support. | QA runs a valuable set of release tests on Firefox using Mozmill, which is not e10s compatible.

* Slight change to scope: we have a proof of concept that has been used to land to a clone of mozilla-central running on the Transplant service. Given the plans for Autoland in 2015 (interfacing with MozReview), there's no point in further work on this particular prototype. | |||

=== Create tests for the "charts" (dashboard) service [ekyle] === | === {{missed|}} Move dzAlerts from Datazilla to Treeherder [ekyle] === | ||
Make dzAlerts (which produces Talos performance regression alerts) ingest data from Treeherder, rather than Datazilla, as the latter doesn't scale well with Talos data. | |||

* why: Sustainability: charting code is getting complex due to all the branches created to avoid breaking other charts. Creating some tests would allow us to consolidate the branches by being confident that changes to the core JS code won't break tests.

We have several separate test suites that run on independent systems, like Autophone, Eideticker, mozbench, power profiling tests, etc. Each of these requires separate maintenance and feature development. We will scope the effort involved in consolidating different aspects of these, including test scheduling, test reporting, Android and Firefox OS device maintenance, and the use of buildbot for desktop tests, so we can determine whether or not we should attempt such a consolidation in 2015. | We have several separate test suites that run on independent systems, like Autophone, Eideticker, mozbench, power profiling tests, etc. Each of these requires separate maintenance and feature development.
