My 20th Bugzilla account anniversary

It’s somewhat scary how fast the time flies by. I can remember that I wrote a post for my 15th Bugzilla anniversary (as it feels not that long ago). But now the next mark has been reached with using Bugzilla for 20 years! A lot has happened in those last 5 years, and I’m sure that the 25th anniversary will come as well. For statistics I have as well some numbers for my Bugzilla account:   2018 2023 Changes Bugs filed 4690 6504 + 1814 Comments made 63947 82346 +Continue readingMy 20th Bugzilla account anniversary

My 15th Bugzilla account anniversary

Exactly 15 years ago at “2003-06-05 09:51:47 PDT” my journey in Bugzilla started.

Automation Survey Follow-up

As promised in my last post about the automation survey results I wanted to come up with a follow-up to clarify our next steps in being more open for our activities, discussions, and also quarterly goals. Sorry, that it has been taken a bit longer but end of the quarter and especially the year is mostly packed with stuff to finish up. Also the all-hands work week in Orlando beginning of December hold me off from doing a lot real work. So lets get started with the mailing list topicContinue readingAutomation Survey Follow-up

Survey about sharing information inside the Firefox Automation team

Within the Firefox Automation team we were suffering a bit in sharing information about our work over the last couple of months. That mainly happened because I was alone and not able to blog more often than once in a quarter. The same applies to our dev-automation mailing list which mostly only received emails from Travis CI with testing results. Given that the team has been increased to 4 people now (beside me this is Maja Frydrychowicz, Syd Polk, and David Burns, we want to be more open again andContinue readingSurvey about sharing information inside the Firefox Automation team

Join our first Automation Training days on March 24/26

Building software is fun. Spending countless hours or even days on something to get it finally working. Helping someone who uses your software to speed-up the daily workflow. All that is fantastic and every developer loves that. But don’t let the dark side come up, when customers are pointing you to a lot of software defects. Are you still proud and will you continue the work as how you did it before? Most likely not. Or well, lets say at least not when quality is what you want to ship.Continue readingJoin our first Automation Training days on March 24/26

Results of our first “Ask an Expert” automation session

It’s was clearly a wow! The way how our first “Ask an Expert” session went was promising. I haven’t thought that we would be able to fill a complete hour with discussions right away – but finally we ended up with additional 15 minutes to get the next steps set for Mike Kaply’s last question how to run automated tests for autoconf. So what is that amazing on such a session? Given that in the past we as team were mostly working on Bugzilla to get a plan how toContinue readingResults of our first “Ask an Expert” automation session
