In an effort to better manage my projects and workflow, I’m trying to blog my weekly status reports. Enjoy!
For more detailed information, please see my detailed status report.
Accomplishments
1. Drafted a proposal for a Mozmill Tests Styleguide – currently undergoing peer review and will be posted to MDC as soon as it is ready for community consumption.
2. Created a portal on QMO for lessons – resource for community members to learn at their own pace on their own time. The first lesson, Finding a Testcase in Litmus, has been posted as well. I expect to populate this with a new lesson every week for the next month.
3. Bug 610849 – Need a notification bar waitFor() in Mozmill API – implemented and landed waitForTabPanel() in the tabBrowserAPI. Essentially, this is a safety-net for ensuring notification bars are ready before Mozmill performs an action. It will make notification bar handling a lot more robust and reliable. I also landed patches to refactor all of the existing tests, which rely on notification bars, to use this new function.
Next Week
Next week is a short week for me — I will be on vacation from Sunday through Wednesday. As a result, I’ve got a lot to accomplish in two short days. Add to that, I am moving to a new home in downtown Vancouver the following Saturday. This will surely be a busy week for me. Taking that into consideration, here is a list of all I’d like to see accomplished next week.
- Finish converting 4.0b7 tests to Litmus
- Run a testday for Mozmill Refactoring
- Post a styleguide to MDC
- Create project page for Local Data project
- Set up “incoming”/”resolving” queries
- 0 unvetted Litmus results for my owned areas
- 0 in-litmus? bugs for my owned areas
- Create a proposal for more integrated QA:Development partnerships
- Add a lesson for “bug reproducing” to QMO
- Plan a bugday for Nov 29 – Dec 3
