Goals

• Work with release engineering to reduce overall end-to-end time from push to test result to an average of 2 hours.
• Ensure all harnesses and tests are E10S ready
• Improve performance testing by finalizing user-activated addons performance system, xperf-enabled performance testing, and automating a user responsiveness performance test.
