QA

Garvan

  • Based on discussions with Richard and Nick, some more refactoring on the storage module and upload module

Developer Tools (Jeff/Rob/Dave)

Feedback Summary (Cheng/Tyler/Matt)

Desktop

Summary

We are currently seeing two major trends in Firefox 31 feedback which revolve around the Verizon Mail issue and feedback about the addition of a search box to the New Tab page.

Verizon Mail – 404

Verizon Mail users on Firefox 31 are reporting that they are unable to reply/forward/send e-mails and were given a null 404 error. The details of this issue can be found in bug 1043690. There is currently no workaround available. We are recommending a chemspill at this point to address the issue.

New Tab Page

Firefox 31 users have been fairly vocal about the updates made to the New Tab page. Many users find the new functionality to be extremely beneficial. Some users are confused by the change and have not discovered the ability to change providers.

Updates Project

More detailed results of the Update Hotfix at our blog. Not to give away any surprises, but we’ve updated over 6 million users.

Coming Soon

31 Release survey is live and getting responses. Detailed week 1 report out today.

User Research (Bill)

Planning for user interviews and prototypes testing for Directory and Enhanced Tiles. Sessions will take place in mid-August in Chicago and Portland. These sessions will be recorded and live streamed. Expect results the first week of September.

Firefox OS RIL (htsai)

<Read Only>

  1. https://wiki.mozilla.org/TPE_RIL_team/2014-07-29

GFX (milan)

  • Desktop
    • Linux: bug 1015218 – Use Cairo image surfaces and XShmPutImage instead of XRender on GTK/Linux OMTC basic – landed. This will help us with getting Linux closer to other desktop platforms and be able to share more effort that benefits them all (by eventually moving to Skia.)
  • Mobile:
    • Looked at the home screen memory usage, and whether we have to switch to “four icons across” to help that situation. As of right now, four across helps compared to three across, but not enough to force us to do it, so the proposal is to go back to three, while maintaining the hunt for any less than efficient memory consumption.
    • Will try to switch Fennec to use the same APZ code as B2G (and eventually desktop), to put them on the equal footing.

Feedback Summary  (Cheng/Tyler/Matt)


Desktop


Firefox 30: Sentiment report was sent out this morning, please contact the User Advocacy team if you have questions


Firefox 31: No issues that we’ve seen so far, still watching feedback. 


Firefox Updates Hotfix: Has been live for around a week, initial results have been published at https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2014-July/001997.html


Quick Summary:

Over 4.5 million users have installed the add-on

Around half of them have updated (Over 2 million users)

We are investigating success of the Notification popup

We will be digging into FHR, ADI, SUMO and Add-on numbers this week to get more detailed answers.

V2 of the add-on is already underway, fix the bugs in v1, add support for Mac, etc. Bug 1040228

We will be investigating other ways to continue this effort in the future.



Market Insights from the Strategy & Insights Team (Kev)


Note: Kev will be on PTO July 28 through Aug 8, so will miss the Jul 29 and Aug 5th calls. No one will be taking his place. He apologizes for this, and his use of the third person.

It’s eating into the profit margins of organizations like Samsung (draw parallels to Sony as you see fit), and making a whole lot of power even more accessible for Android users. We’re seeing continued interest in Chromebooks (more below), and Microsoft is working with partners to introduce lower-cost hardware into the same space.

Why we should care: We consistently see metrics that more than 2/3 of buyers will spend more than $150 on their phone. The downward push on prices for hardware that continues to grow in capability and performance means even more people will be able to take advantage of a full-featured web on (what is usually) their primary communications and computing platform. This pricing pressure is extending into the

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree


    

  •  Buildmaster is up and running.

      

    •  Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl.  So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.

    

  •  comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.

  •  Migrating our Linux builders to CentOS 6 bug 795354. Puppetmaster has been updated. Ewong is able to login to these hosts and buildbot is installed. We still need to get everything setup for parity and do some slight tweaks to the puppet config, but we’re pretty close to useable.

      

    •  In Progress: 2.28 beta and final will depend on build system working again for Gecko 31.0

    •  bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux.(should be fixed when bug 795354 is fixed).

    •  bug 977676 SeaMonkey’s puppet broken due to requirement of ffxbld ldap password.

    •  bug 943740 is tracking the progress (or lack of one) in building trunk and aurora on Linux & Mac from the downloading user’s POV.

    •  bug 840426 tracks the buildbot-config and buildbotcustom code changes to support Mock on our linux* slaves.

    •  bug 853720 tracks the builders not recognizing mozcrash. (Not exactly sure if it’s relevant still, since our builders have been so perma-red for some time; but putting this here just in case.)

    

  •  We are perma-orange on comm-central, comm-aurora and comm-beta due to problems with tests

      

    •  Windows en-US builds are being successfully compiled but tests are not working due to a dependency on python 2.7.3.

    •  pymake has been discontinued. We need to install the latest Mozilla-build and tooltool on our windows builders (tracked by bug 1023644 )

    

  •  No langpacks since 29th August 2013 on trunk. Needs investigating.

      

    •  Windows and Mac trunk langpacks directories have been removed on the FTP server, maybe for lack of recent XPIs (later than 2.20a1). Latest Linux langpacks are dated 29 August. Callek told Tonymec on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first.

    •  In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.

    



Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting



Release Train


    

  •  Callek plans to have at least one 2.28 beta as soon as we get the Linux builders up.

      

    •  SeaMonkey 2.28 beta 1 and final are intended to follow within two weeks after the merge, otherwise another 2.26.x update will follow (Callek’s news post, MZ announcement).

Need To Know


(Release and system issues that may impact engineering this week.)



Notices/Schedule (lsblakk/sylvestre)





Next Merge: September 1, 2014

Next Release: September 2, 2014





Trains





Central: 34

Aurora: 33

Beta: 32

Release: 31




Build Changes (gps)


(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)



RelEng (catlee)


(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)



Upcoming Outages/Upgrades


(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)



Quality Programs


(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)



OrangeFactor (ryanvm)


    

  •  Past week’s OrangeFactor: N/A (data collection issues) (Previous Week: 9.26).

  •  Intermittent mochitest-bc docShell leaks (bug 1036031/bug 1036036) remain highest unowned failures on the list.

  •  #4: bug 1040724 – Intermittent test_visibility.html | Plugin should have painted once. (expected 1 independent paints, expected 1 logged paints, got 2 actual paints)

      

    •  Started on Friday, fallout from all the plugin activity last week?

    

  •  15 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

      

    •  Shout-out to Sami Jaktholm for fixing lots of devtools issues recently.

    



MemShrink (njn)


    

  •  Jan de Mooij enabled optimized Latin1 strings in the JS engine. This saves over 4 MiB when starting Firefox and loading Gmail using a Latin1 locale. (And it’s still a win on non-Latin1 locales and pages because they still use lots of Latin1 strings, identifiers, etc, and Firefox’s own JS code is still written mostly in Latin1.) This also speeds up some string-intensive operations such as some regexp operations.

  •  (BTW, this change is also a textbook example of how to break up a large change into lots of small, manageable pieces, which leads to faster reviews, clearer progress, and easier bisection of introduced defects. See the tracking bug for details.)

  •  Lots of B2G 2.0 memory usage regressions have been getting fixed recently (e.g. here and here) involving too many people to list individually. Lots of great work between the MemShrink team and the Systems Front End team.



Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)


<Read Only>



    

  •  Nightly had a startup crash in yesterday’s first build, is fixed.

  •  Otherwise, overall data looks decent.



Team Stand-ups


(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)
