Our Goal in Q2 is mostly ergonomics and stability. In other words:

  • Goal: Improve Developer/QA ergonomics around running and debugging automation by:
    • Make running any B2G test and landing at a breakpoint in a debugger require 3 commands or less.
    • Improve patch review experience on bugzilla/Make bugzilla more user-centric TODO: Measurement? Buglist?
    • Replace graph server with Datazilla for all desktop Talos tests
    • Release a v1 "bisect in the cloud" for linux tests
    • Create a project branch view of B2G builds/tests that tracks commits per target, rather than per repo (all commits to any repo for unagi for instance) joint with releng
  • Goal: Improve stability, reliability, and scalability of automation platforms by:
    • Addressing all P1 B2G automation stability issues TODO: buglist?
    • Complete native REST interface for Bugzilla (improves scalability, performance)
    • Complete Mochitest to Mozbase port P1 bugs TODO: buglist
    • Create Microbenchmark suite
    • Drive developer investigation into the top 20 intermittent failures in automation and drive solutions where possible.
    • Update pulse so that its dependent (client side) libraries are current TODO: buglist
    • Create a prototype and a specification for a rig to power cycle real phones. Have a vendor selected to build the rig by end of quarter.
  • Goal: Build toward our future by:
    • Deploy a minimally viable TBPL replacement by end of quarter, aim to switch over mid-Q3
    • Release a mozmill 2 and work with contributor community to drive toward a 2.1
    • Automate a scrolling fps test using camera Eideticker measurements for Contacts, Email, Settings, and Message apps
    • Create and Deploy BMO user profile data for community building and education
    • Revamp Testday/Bugday efforts to drive community growth in our QA/Dev/Triage teams
    • Address P1 low hanging fruit of releng infrastructure load issues (joint with releng) TODO: List
