QA Community
Automation Services
Automation & Tools
- Joel wrote a great blog post on the Talos Signal From Noise project
- Will has Eideticker running a canvas test on nightly native fennec. See the dashboard
- Jeff has a simple pypi system available that we will likely deploy inside our automation infrastructure so that buildbot slaves can sanely manage their python dependencies for tools without hitting an outside network (necessary for mozharness migration)
- Started work on a pulse translation service which will make pulse messages from buildbot much less likely to change and more predictable.
- More Updates here
Security
- there is a final proposal for changing the way security uses bugzilla keywords and whiteboard tags going on in dev.planning & security-group please provide comments by 16-Mar
