Review of Firefox desktop automation work – Q1 2016

Firefox Automation report – Q2 2015

It’s been a while since I wrote my last Firefox automation report, so lets do another one to wrap up everything happened in Q2 this year. As you may remember from my last report the team has been cut down to only myself, and beside that I was away the whole April. Means only 2 months worth of work will be covered this time.

Highlights In our Mozmill-CI environment we had a couple of frozen Windows machines, which were running with 100% CPU load and 0MB of memory used. Those values came from the vSphere client, and didn’t give us that much information. Henrik checked the affected machines after a reboot, and none of them had any suspicious entries in the event viewer either. But he noticed that most of our VMsContinue readingFirefox Automation report – week 45/46 2014
