Firefox Automation report – week 49/50 2014

In this post you can find an overview about the work happened in the Firefox Automation team during week 49 and 50.

Highlights

During the first week of December the all-hands work week happened in Portland. Those were some great and inspiring days, full of talks, discussions, and conversations about various things. Given that I do not see my colleagues that often in real life, I have taken this opportunity to talk to everyone who is partly or fully involved in projects of our automation team. There are various big goals in front of us, so clearing questions and finding the next steps to tackle ongoing problems was really important. Finally we came out with a long list of todo items and more clarity about so far unclear tasks.

In week 50 we got some updates landed for Mozmill CI. Given a regression from the blacklist landing, our l10n tests haven’t been executed for any locale of the Firefox Developer Edition. Since the fix landed, we have seen problems with access keys in nearly each locale for a new test, which covers the context menu of web content.

Also we would like to welcome Barbara Miller in our team. She joined us as an intern via the FOSS outreach program as driven by Gnome. She will be with us until March and will mainly work on testdaybot and the conversion of Mozmill tests to Marionette. The latter project is called m21s and details can be found on its project page. Soon I will post more details about it.
