There have been some problems recently that could have been avoided if we'd been running automated tests for Firefox OS on debug builds, which we aren't currently doing on https://tbpl.mozilla.org/ .
I think the important characteristic here that we need is that we need to test builds compiled with -DDEBUG. It doesn't matter if the builds are optimized or not (given that I'm under the impression that running non-optimized B2G is unacceptably slow) and I'd think we don't want debug symbols to be part of the binaries on the device (which is a characteristic of debug builds on desktop, though I'd hope that the build system already does something reasonable here). I wrote a blog post explaining more generally why I think this is important: http://dbaron.org/log/20130729-debug-builds Are there plans to have B2G automated tests running on debug builds? What's the status, and what's in the way of it happening? -David -- 𝄞 L.
