Automation Development report – week 45/46 2013

After the last report over a two week cycle, I have to follow-up with another one for the weeks 45 and 46. Due to my move I had limited availability and to fix some important other stuff. So hopefully this is the last report over a two weeks period in the near future.

Highlights

To be able to release Mozmill 2.0.1 as soon as possible Henrik had to fix a lot of existent bugs for mozprofile in conjunction with its add-on manager class. Those fixes were necessary because our restart tests were broken due to an inappropriate clean-up of add-ons after closing Firefox. At the end 10 bugs have been fixed.

We are close to get our first Metro tests running with Mozmill on Windows 8 and 8.1. But before we can really do that, the whole mozmill-tests repository has to be refactored to support multiple applications. Here both Andreea and Andrei are doing most of the work.

Dave and Henrik were both working on a couple of Mozmill-CI issues, which will help us to better diagnose the memory issues and random crashes of the Jenkins Java process. Everything has been merged to our staging server and has to bake a bit before a push to production will happen.

Henrik added a new feature to Mozmill-CI which allows us to run tests for builds off project branches. This will come into play really soon when we have to execute daily tests for the upcoming holly branch, which is mozilla-central without the Australis UX.

Dave released gaiatest 0.19, b2gpopulate 0.11, and b2gperf 0.12 to resolve leaks in performance tests.
