QA/Automation/Projects
Projects
To be successful and to offer the best support for other teams, the Automation Development team is working on different projects concurrently. Some of those projects can be accomplished in a short time while others will take longer, even several months. The prioritized projects reflect the most important projects in the current quarter and include the appropriate tasks which have to be fulfilled during that time. Other active projects have lower priority.
If you are interested in already finished projects, check our projects archive. We also have a some projects that we would like to do in the future!
Prioritized Projects
Each quarter the Auto-Tools group has some goals to finish, and some of those are dedicated to our team. That means we have some prioritized projects to handle throughout the current quarter, which have higher priority then other listed projects on that page.
For 2013 Q4 our prioritized projects are:
- (crossteam) Get SoftVision to lead the automation efforts for QA with our oversight
- (crossteam) Switch Mozmill CI from Mozmill 1.5.x to Mozmill 2.0 (see issue 329)
- (crossteam) Get Firefox Metro tests executed in production (see issue 215)
- Extend Mozmill CI to cover most of our localized beta and release candidate builds (see issue 270)
- Create web application to generate the beta and release Jenkins job configuations (see bug 915164)
Beside those we also have goals which are stretched and we might work on if there is time left:
- Setup tryserver Mozmill CI system assist team members in testing their patches
- Investigate requirements for community driving tool by working together with jdm, lizzard, and pieros
