      • Concise, universal heuristics and models for rapid application of those principles
      • How to determine and apply oracles to software system performance criteria
      • Where performance testing fits in your development life-cycle

Discussion Items / Updates

  • B2G/Firefox OS (especially, but not exclusively, Marionette automation)
  • Firefox Marketplace
  • MozTrap features that support B2G/Firefox OS test-running/reporting
