Notices, Highlights, Roundtable

• Goals at risk:
  • Native Rest API - probably get done, but not depoyed
  • Gaia integration on TBPL - dependent on releng
  • Power cycling phones (waiting on more parts)
  • TreeHerder will make progress but not where we wanted to be
  • Mochitest on Mozbase won't make it - made progress but not done
  • Replacing graph server with datazilla - going to get close but probably not there.

• Single biggest challenge for the A*Team?
• Goals for Q3?

Goals

• Goal: Improve Developer/QA ergonomics around running and debugging automation by:
  • Add debugger support to B2G testrunners
  • Improve patch review experience on bugzilla/Make bugzilla more user-centric
  • Replace graph server with Datazilla for all desktop Talos tests
  • Create a project branch view of B2G builds/tests that tracks commits per target, rather than per repo (all commits to any repo for unagi for instance) joint with releng

• Goal: Improve stability, reliability, and scalability of automation platforms by:
  • Addressing all P1 B2G automation stability issues
  • Complete native REST interface for Bugzilla
  • Complete Mochitest to Mozbase port
  • Create POC Microbenchmark suite to get feedback from developers for its usefulness
  • Reduce orange factor to 5 or lower (for the last three weeks of the quarter) by driving awareness among developers, following up with assignees, and fixing intermittent automation failures.
  • Update pulse so that its dependent (client side) libraries are current for its use in Tree Herder
  • Create a prototype and a specification for a rig to power cycle real phones. Have a vendor selected to build the rig by end of quarter.

• Goal: Build toward our future by:
  • Deploy a minimally viable TBPL replacement by end of quarter, aim to switch over mid-Q3
  • Release a mozmill 2 and work with contributor community to drive toward a 2.1
  • Automate a scrolling fps test using camera Eideticker measurements for Contacts, Email, Settings, and Message apps
  • Create and Deploy BMO user profile data for community building and education
  • Create a solid net and filter system to build a bugmaster community
  • Identify 5 things we can do to increase our infrastructure capacity by 10% through more streamlined usage and bringing new capacity online. (joint with releng)
  • Enable performance and test automation to run on Android x86 hardware, investigate Android 2.3.x support on Pandas.
