; General (Henrik)
* Waiting for Clint's proposal how to do Drag&Drop - needed for Panorama tests
; Broken Tests
* Firefox 4.0 (Geo)
* Firefox 3.5/3.6 (Anthony)
** Landed waitForTabPanel() to make notification bar handling more reliable (5 of top-10 fails resolved)
; DOM Walker + L10n API (Adrian)
* final review stages


= Last weeks action Items =
; Redesign Shared Modules (Geo)
 
; Test Refactoring (Anthony)
* Draft styleguide being composed (targetting EOW)
* Begin refactoring once styleguide approved
 
; Local Test Data (Anthony)
* No progress yet - considering community outreach to create testpages
** 35 tests are already local
** 4 tests remain which can be made local
** remainder are not doable in Mozmill
** not much value-add
 
; Update Testing (Henrik)
* Currently we fail in downloading partial updates because the about window and the old ui are blocking each other. (bug 599290)
** Attached is a workaround patch
* We will have to update the shared module asap to be able to test the new ui
 
; Add-ons Testing (Henrik)
* With Mozmill 1.5.1 add-on authors should be able to create tests now. But should we wait with advertisement until shared modules have been refactored?
* Dave is working on tests for the Selenium IDE extension
 
; Mozmill Crowd Extension (Henrik)
* In contact with Patrick Brunswig regarding IPC-PIPE regression. Will still use nsIProcess to prevent possible other upcoming regressions

* MozMill testday on Nov 26th?
* Results from [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/33H4JCcOOv work week]
** Can we combine this testday with goals we want to see accomplished by end of this year?
* Endurance tests with Mozmill (see Etherpad document)
** What about help in refactoring the tests? That sounds like a great collaboration.
* [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/DJde7oLlEb MozMill testday] on Nov 26th?
** Help in fixing still remaining broken tests.
** Yes, we want to have it
** Getting feedback for the documentation, beside the notes Dave already has written down
** Creation of test files for local test data project
* Litmus vs. Mozmill tests
* Litmus vs. Mozmill tests
** For the add-ons manager we have 60+ in-litmus requests. Do we want to have manual tests for all those requests or can we only implement those which really need manual action?

= Meeting Notes =
* Goals Review and Additions
** {{prev|}} Mozmill Crowd extension
*** Test environments for Windows and Linux have to be setup
*** Need functionality to download and install the test environment
*** Update the extension to use nsIProcess instead of IPC-PIPE component
*** Demo of the extension during the all hands week
 
** {{ok|}} Mozmill Dashboard (update and add-on tests)
*** Once the automation script sends all the data up to brasstacks (later this week) we have to think about the visualization of the results
*** For add-on tests we will setup an addon testrun for Selenium IDE
 
** {{ok|}} Buildbot execution of tests with local test data
*** behind on creating new local test files - we can use the test day to get progress
*** 35 tests moved to local test data last quarter
*** 4 test files for this quarter / about 20 test files remaining
*** we should make sure that tests with already local test data are stable and can go to buildbot
*** what is the plan to get a specific set of tests to get run on buildbot
**** tag tests with meta data in the file which can be used by a script to copy over
 
** {{ok|}} Refactoring the shared module system
*** not a lot of progress in the work week
*** implementation of the initial classes
*** we will have at least the majority pieces in place to implement most of our tests
*** pick tests from nearly each of the existing test groups for a broad coverage
 
** {{ok|}} Mozmill Panorama tests
*** Lead needed for coordination -> Cameron? Who is 2nd?
*** Geo will talk with Clint about drag and drop requirements
*** Given by Anthony there should be 1/2 of the tests on Litmus be able to run without D&D
*** Geo will come up with some performance tests
*** Focus on already existent tests on Litmus
**** Figuring out with QA leads and devs which of those tests are important to automate
 
** {{new|}} Prototype for endurance tests
*** For first thoughts see the [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/mozauto-101119 etherpad]
*** Have to find a lead and 2nd
 
** {{new|}} Define trigger mechanism to start Mozmill test-runs
*** whatever sort of notifications even manual ones to start test-runs on all the platforms
*** Send out emails when failures happen
*** Big impact of Mozmill tests to run RelEng update tests
*** Talk to RelEng to define the type of notification (Lead: Geo, 2nd: Henrik)
**** No ETA for RelEng inclusion
**** We have requested a way to get notification from RelEng for our test-runs
**** Make our update tests absolutely trustful before running them in the RelEng environment (i.e nightly-test channel)
 
* Handling of manual testcases in Litmus for automated tests
** Each automated test needs a manual test
** Where they have to be located?
*** Keep in mind that Litmus 2 is not that far away.
*** jsdoc vs attachment on Bugzilla
**** jsdoc can handle changes more gracefully - one step with script changes
**** jsdoc comments can be automatically pulled
*** Everything should be on one place, mark tests for automation only
