Test Suites
Test Automation
* bug 687147 - crash on startup of fennec, fixed with a hack * lots of other failures exist, mostly due to crashes of the browser or hangs during quit * looking into adding in a 'make talos-remote' from an objdir, would this be useful for folks? * click-to-play and e10s/non-e10s unittests? this would double the load on the tegras, what is critical in testing in non e10s mode? * simple wiki to decode [automation failures] on tegras
Release Engineering
- (fixed) bug 685242 – split try and non-try tegra pools
- (fixed) bug 686748 – catch devicemanager exceptions in sut_tools scripts
- (fixed) bug 687233 – foopies are running out of disk space
- (fixed) bug 684871 – update dashboard for new tegras
- (fixed?) bug 687156 – update pageloader max version to * from 9.0
- (fixed) bug 687018 – intermittent dns failures in Android test jobs
- (fixed) bug 669415 – new tegras online or distributed to developers; need to be hooked up to foopies
- bug 684253 – 6 new foopies
Overall, most purples/reds are now green or orange. Oranges are most likely due to the startup crash that Joel found last week.
