Sorry for the short notice. I’m taking the ‘bots offline for a few minutes to make a change to the reftest summary reported on Tinderbox — now it will show number of tests passing / tests failed / tests known to fail, similar to mochitests’ numbers. Tests known to fail have been removed from the [...]
The unit test box (with the name you can tap your foot to) is going offline for a RAM and processor upgrade today. We’re hoping to decrease build times on it for even more rapid test cycling.
This afternoon we closed the tree while sorting out a mochitest failure. It was hard to tell if the crash was real initially, as there had been some tweaking of the tinderbox output from the testbots, and some changes to the harness itself. After some investigation it was deemed to be a real bug and [...]
The testfarm buildbots have been moved to the main Firefox tree on Tinderbox and given spiffy new names. They are now known as “Linux qm-rhel02 dep unit test”, “MacOSX Darwin 8.8.4 qm-xserve01 dep unit test” and “WINNT 5.1 qm-winxp01 dep unit test”. Sure rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
We haven’t really nailed-down what it means [...]
One week later and the OS X test box turns green just in time for the long weekend. It didn’t happen by magic. Rob Sayre graciously donated some of his busy schedule to help track down an error in the configuration files. If I weren’t so happy it was fixed, I’d be feeling a little [...]
That little page was my first view of the new testing buildbots living in the Mozilla colocation facility. It may not look like much yet, but it’s overflowing with potential. What does it do, you wonder? It runs test-enabled builds, then runs make check, reftest and mochitest. From the three columns, you might infer that [...]
This was a fun, albeit hectic week for me. I was in Toronto last week during the symposium until this Wednesday when I spoke to a class at Seneca about testing software at Mozilla. I covered some of our functional testing procedures using Litmus and Bugzilla, then moved on to talk a bit about unit [...]
We had a bit of an outage last week. Our beloved Litmus fell over last week as the server it was hosted on had an aneurysm and fell over in its rack. Many thanks to Zach and Coop for getting it back up and running and for posting the results from the previous week’s testday [...]
Tomorrow is another testday where myself and a few of my close friends in QA will be hanging out in the #testday channel on IRC playing “kick the browser”. This is a round of testing against the new BonEcho RC1 release candidate which, if all goes well, should be landing some time next week.
And if [...]
I have been remiss in my blogging duties of late. I blame an ongoing love/hate relationship with some l10n test scripting for the upcoming, and stellar Firefox 2.0.
Linkblogs are bad. I know. But I feel the need to post something even if it isn’t my own spectacular content. So, I’m going to do what bloggers [...]
