Automation Development team goals for Q4 2013

By Admin

I know that I’m a bit late in publishing our Automation Development team goals for the last quarter this year. But better late than never. I think there are some very interesting tasks we want to tackle on over the course of the next three months. And we would invite everyone who has interest to join us, learn new stuff, and simply have fun with coding. Given that we are a part of the https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools team aka the A-Team, we inherit some of the overall team goals for Q4 2013.Continue readingAutomation Development team goals for Q4 2013

Mozmill 1.5.24 released

By Admin

As of yesterday we have released Mozmill 1.5.24. That release was a bit unexpected because we had already decided to not release another version of this branch. But we were able to include a bug fix, which let our tests run nearly twice that fast. And given that we cannot upgrade our Mozmill CI to version 2.0 yet, a quick 1.5 release provides us a huge performance win. The problem in detail was in the local HTTP server we make use of, which is httpd.js. In July 2012 I recognizedContinue readingMozmill 1.5.24 released

But also lots of trouble with our Windows nodes in Mozmill-CI caused us a bit of headache, which we were able to finally get solved.

Double-check to disable Firefox Sync when doing a regression test to not loose important profile data

By Admin

Yesterday I was doing a regression test for Firefox to determine the changeset which brought in a very annoying behavior into Aurora builds. Therefore I copied my profile to not destroy my original profile data, and was working on that copy. All was working fine and I was able to reduce the whole profile to only the sessionstore.js and prefs.js files. The evil awakening came today morning when I tried to log into a website via my personal profile. By surprise the user name and password hasn’t been filled inContinue readingDouble-check to disable Firefox Sync when doing a regression test to not loose important profile data

Automation Development report – week 38 2013

By Admin

The last week was more dedicated for maintenance. We were working on features for mozmill-ci to let us more easily debug failing tests, especially with all the cpu load spikes we have seen across our Windows machines. But we also got the final Mozmill 2.0rc6 release out. Continue reading to find details. Hightlights One of our biggest issues last week was definitely the drastic increase of the CPU load across all of our Windows nodes in the mozmill-ci cluster. It magically started when QA did the first ondemand tests forContinue readingAutomation Development report – week 38 2013

Automation Development report – week 37 2013

By Admin

Another week passed by and there are only two weeks remaining until the end of Q3. That means we are working eagerly to get the remaining goals finished up. Hightlights As of last week we are finally running our Mozmill l10n tests, which discover duplicated access keys and cut-off elements, in our mozmill-ci production environment. That’s a big step forward because with that we no longer have any other test machines which run Mozmill tests on a production like system. Everything is combined in a single continuous integration system. ToContinue readingAutomation Development report – week 37 2013

It looks like since everyone is back from the summer vacations we keep our productivity kinda high over the last couple of weeks. During the last week we finished again a couple of important tasks.

That task has been done now, after a full week of observation on our staging instance. Everything looked fine, so Henrik pushed the upgrade to production on Monday.
