MemChaser 0.2.1 released

By Admin

Yesterday a new version of MemChaser has been released. It was necessary due to the implementation of the new Garbage Collector API, which has been landed on Thursday for Firefox 14. Beside the new observers which report about CC/GC activity some of the console message keys have also been changed. That broke our parsing of values and MemChaser was not able to report any GC information. Version 0.2.1 is a bug fix release and only contains the above mentioned fix. If you are interested in more information check our issueContinue readingMemChaser 0.2.1 released

MemChaser 0.2 released

By Admin

Exactly one month after we have released our initial version of MemChaser, version 0.2 has been made publicly available. You can install the add-on as usual from addons.mozilla.org or if it is already installed, simply check for updates within the Add-ons Manager. A couple of subtle changes have been made which will give a better experience for users. So we have combined the formerly two widgets in the Add-on bar into a single one to prevent other extensions from inserting their widgets in-between. At the same time the width hasContinue readingMemChaser 0.2 released

New Firefox 3.7 branch for the mozmill-test repository

By Admin

A couple of minutes ago I have branched the mozmill-test repository for our upcoming Firefox 3.7 work. With that addition we can start to update our tests on the default branch to make them compatible with current Developer Preview releases and Minefield builds. That means we have the following correlations now: default => Firefox 3.7 mozilla1.9.2 => Firefox 3.6.x mozilla1.9.1 => Firefox 3.5.x More details about branch handling for our Mozmill tests can be found on MDC. The Mozmill test repository is available under the following two locations: http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/ http://github.com/whimboo/mozmill-tests

Synchronizing Nokia N900 with Mac OS X

By Admin

About 2 weeks ago I got my new Nokia N900 device for testing purposes. During the next couple of months I will have to run some dogfooding against the mobile Firefox aka. Fennec. To have it handy all the time I will have to use it as my mobile phone. Therefore it’s necessary to synchronize all the relevant information, e.g. Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks, between OS X and the N900. There is no official plug-in yet which will allow the synchronization with iSync. But after a quick check I haveContinue readingSynchronizing Nokia N900 with Mac OS X

Daily automated Mozmill test-runs in the QA Lab

By Admin

Starting today the Mozilla QA lab has it’s own automated Mozmill test-run in place which gets executed once a day. That means I do not have to run those tests manually anymore and we also have public available results which will give us more exposure regarding failed tests. Really, it’s a great step forward for us. But lets talk in-detail about the progress… During the last All Hands week in December 2009 I had to hold a presentation in one of our QA group meetings about the current state ofContinue readingDaily automated Mozmill test-runs in the QA Lab

Mozmill 1.4 released

By Admin

The new version of Mozmill brings some under the hood changes to the Python back-end. The patch on Bug 533227 adds report support for restart tests which can push results to a couchdb instance now. With Mozmill 1.3 only normal Mozmill tests had that capability. Further we have improved the handling of Python callbacks from within Mozmill tests. While the former version of Mozmill has only supported those callbacks for restart tests, you can use them in normal tests (Bug 538058) now. The only restriction is that the test-run hasContinue readingMozmill 1.4 released

Even when having an ISDN phone connection at home you will be able to send a fax. There is no analog connection needed. The only requirement is an installed Fritz!Box Fon from AVM which acts as your telephone system. Via its configuration web interface you can already specify a number to receive faxes. But also sending a fax is possible in some simple steps. Download and install Fritz!Fax on your Windows machine. A printer driver is installed automatically which is used to send b/w or colored faxes. Works like aContinue readingUsing your Fritz!Box to send a fax
