  • No update

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

CritSmash (dbolter)

MemShrink (njn)

The trees were closed for several days due to shutdown leaks. From the post-mortem:

TL;DR: Win7 M2 and Mbc test were OOMing frequently at shutdown because too many DOM windows were open. This was due to a combination of: (a) multiple badly written tests, (b) multiple social API leaks, (c) multiple devtool leaks. Bug 932898 will improve our shutdown leak detection; bug 934288 may also help. Bug 932900 will (if implemented) will make some of these leaks impossible(?).
