Meeting Details

Please see our public calendar for all upcoming events and meetings.

Our regular team meeting occurs every Thursday @ 9am Pacific

• Vidyo: WebQA (8824)
• IRC: #mozwebqa
• Notes: Archive, Template

User / Scribe

• stephend / AndreiH

Action Items / Takeaways from Last Week

• Takeways:
  • Think about ways to start measuring and reporting on the goals for the team
• Action Items:
  • Bob to consider giving an overview/demo of the new mozwebqa dashboard
    • [bsilverberg] My apologies but I'm not sure what the action here is. I believe I demoed the Marketplace Tests dashboard at a previous meeting, but would be happy to show the issues dashboard. Is the intended audience of this a group other than Web QA?

Discussion Items / Updates

• Let's discuss and then make team decisions to end the confusion around:
  • Whose job it is to send next week's meeting invite, and by when
  • Who populates/carries over the previous week's action items and takeaways
    • [bsilverberg] A suggestion: The scribe is responsible for:
      • adding the action items and takeaways to the current meeting's minutes
      • creating the agenda for the next meeting and carrying the action items and takeaways over to it
      • sending out a notice of the availability of that agenda along with the meeting invite
      • completing all of the above by the end of the week during which the meeting occurred
• I'd like -- where possible -- Travis jobs for our automation
  • see https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/remo-tests and https://travis-ci.org/mozilla/mdn-tests for examples
  • [bsilverberg] +1
• We started tracking our work on WebQA in:
  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgbJACdAek5ndFg0WjVvZWZMMGktd0lLLWkxZU5Ec0E&usp=drive_web#gid=4
  • What do you think?
• Are we using http://mozilla.github.io/mozwebqa-dashboard/#/xfails? Are we also pointing community at it? If not to either, why not? :-)
• Tutorial for getting started with Firefox OS is almost complete:
  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FFgITAa6trKkCypkvu81Dg-E0EEp8OdzmgFRk0yFdAk/edit
  • Please read and feedback (annotate in the doc)
  • Even if you want to *do* the tutorial that would be even better; it should take 1-2 hours.
  • It is aimed at being a hands off way to give newb contributors skills in test automation and Firefox OS
  • Plan to move to MDN where we can translate it and also track page metrics through each section of the test (ie how far the person gets)
  • Want to have it uploaded next week
