• Test Tool and Infrastructure
  • Performance testing: Configured first new perf test box (qm-pxp01). Working on a issue with more realistic resolution for graphics without a monitor hooked up. Additional baseline work is waiting for new buildbot master in the CoLo since there are problems with having master in the office and slaves in the CoLo. [alice]
