This project is composed of multiple projects which will be improving the overall experience when debugging issues on try. The original discussions are discussed in here. The projects defined below are the ones we're considering tackling at this point.

P1 means that we're commiting to complete a bug within the current quarter. P2 means that it's nice to fix and we will tackle if we have time.

Q3 projects:

  • Remote debuggers - Tree of dependencies
    • Commited P1 remaining bugs - [1]
  • Improve end to end times - []
    • Commited P1 remaining bugs - TBD

All possible projects - bugzilla tree dependency

Project #1 - Remote debuggers

Developers can go from requesting a Linux loaner on TaskCluster to having a debugging environment ready to run tests in a reasonable time with minimal interaction with external documentation or need a minimum amount of help.
