QA Status/Topics

• Notable Bugs
  • See wiki for our RC2 nominations. Top priority bugs are:
    • bug 433340 – bookmark dialog covers candidate window when using IME. Status: recommended for RC2 with patch in place.
    • bug 421482 – – Firefox 3 uses fsync excessively. This was discussed at the Tuesday meeting and is a decent perf win if we can get this in. It tends to make the UI unusable when the user hits this state, so it should be considered for an RC2.
  • The other bugs nominated (lower pri, but good to have if we are respinning) are listed in the wiki above.
  • Additional bugs found during RC1 testing are recorded here.

• General Testing
  • QA is 90% completed with overall RC1 testing. No additional blocking issues so far.
  • Target signoff sometime end of day today
  • Common feedback reported from RC1 testing
  • About 180 testcases ran during RC1 Testday Part 2 last friday. A lot more bug investigation discussion then test execution though.

Round table

• RC2
  • decided that there was sufficient need to do an RC2
  • overall impact (see below for estimated schedule) to final ship date is about 5 days, as external dependencies would have kept us to 2nd/3rd week of June anyway
  • most bugs for this RC have landed, waiting on bug 398332 and bug 435362
  • estimated schedule:
    • Code complete: Wednesday, May 28, noon PDT
    • Hand to build: Thursday, May 29, 6am PDT
    • QA begins: Thursday, May 29th, noon PDT (as builds become available)
    • QA signoff: Thursday, June 5th

• joduinn: netapp woes. See my blog or bug 435134
