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.

Automation

• Go Faster (P1) - jgriffin, ted, mdas, bc, ctalbert, wlach
  • Some minor further improvements pushed to gofaster dashboard (see: bug 688588, bug 686034)
  • Probably easing away from further improvements to dashboard for now. Some bugs still unfixed (e.g. bug 686036, bug 687600). Thoughts?

  • Video capture prototype now up as a github project
  • Discussion of architecture issues, etc. last week
  • Going with talos for now as a harness
    • First iteration will just capture loading static pages
    • Second iteration may use more complex simulated user interactions. Some initial thoughts in this message.

Web Tools

• War on Orange/Auto-log (P1) - jgriffin, mcote
  • View for Bug Correlations awaiting review.

• Bugzilla Improvements (P1) - dkl, glob
  • The decision has been made to modify the core Bugzilla code where appropriate to best suit how Mozilla uses it; this should result in faster improvements to Bugzilla with a tighter focus on our requirements

  • Various bug fixes and tweaks

• Regression Hunter (P1) - harth

• DXR Automation/Support {P2} - mdas
