Quality metrics is an important part of the overall testing process.

There are a number of coverage tools and challenges such as the types of coverage, how to interpret the numbers as well as how we plan to use the information. This presentation will focus on some of these aspects. Please see http://quality.mozilla.org/projects/quality-metrics for a more detailed explanation of the code coverage project.  Feel free to join the project if you are interested!

We will start with pizza and mingling at 6:30 PM - the presentation will start promptly at 7 PM.

Mozilla Bugday with Focus on Crash Bugs today !

Tuesday July 21, 2009 @ 8:27 - Tomcat

  • Start: 2009-07-21 09:00
  • End: 2009-07-21 16:00
  • Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (UTC -7 hours)

During this Bug Day, we will focus on narrowing down unconfirmed cash bugs to find any important ones that have been reported, looking especially for regressions in Firefox 3.5 that weren't in Firefox 3.0.x. Once we find them they can be assigned to developers to be fixed in a security and stability release (e.g., Firefox 3.5.1).

Triage, what is it?


Well, simply put, triage is taking a bug, making sure it has enough information to reproduce, and ensuring that it is in the proper component. After that, you should try to reproduce the issue. Problems that are easily reproducible (such as a crash that occurs every time you visit a certain website), are more valuable than those that are impossible to reproduce. If you can reproduce a bug, please add a comment to the bug or recommend in #bugday that the bug be confirmed.
For more information on triage, please check out the Bug Triage Guidelines and Project.
Help make Firefox 3.5 even better!

Thanks !
