Overview

Lead: Al Billings
Status: 15 Mac Minis (8 10.7, 4 10.6, 3 10.5)
8 HP 1340 Servers
Documentation: TBD

Summary

The Automation Services Team and the WebQA need configured hardware to act as a platform for release and update testing for Firefox and WebQA projects. This is to support, currently, Mozmill and Selenium testing.

This hardware consists of a series of Mac Pro, Mac Mini, and racked server resources. VMware (either Fusion or ESX) is run on hardware for Linux and Windows virtual machines. OS X testing is done natively.

Project Plan

Goal

  • Remove bottlenecks caused by a lack of machines resources for the automated testing of concurrent Firefox builds.
