Discussion Items / Updates

• [davehunt] Recommended reading: Explicit Vs Implicit Waits
• [davehunt] Do we need to be running tests against Mac OS X?
  • The following jobs currently run on Mac OS X: affiliates.(dev|prod|stage), bidpom.stage.saucelabs, hello.prod.(supported|unsupported).saucelabs, mozilla.org.(dev|prod|stage), mozillians.(dev|prod|stage), oneanddone.(dev|stage), socorro.(prod|stage)
  • If we didn't need these to run on Mac OS X we could decommission our five Macs in the MV lab.
  • Alternatively, we could just reduce the number of Macs we have, or make better use of them.
  • We should at least make sure they are running consistent versions of Mac OS X.
  • We could also investigate moving over to Mac in a data center (apparently virtualisation is not an option).
