While the wording here is a bit harsh, I agree with the sentiment. We've talked a lot about focusing in quality, which to me includes not regressing performance. However on an organizational level we still haven't done much investment into our testing infrastructure. Some engineers and QA people certainly has done a lot of great work, but overall our investments are much too low here. If we are really serious about actually improving quality, I think the first thing we should do is to invest into our continuous-integration testing infrastructure. That means getting tools like raptor not just "up and running", but actually enabled on the mozilla-central main reporting pages. This is a lot of work. It's not just a matter getting tests runners working. But also on getting numbers to be stable enough, tests to not intermittently fail too often, etc. But if we don't make this investment at an organizational level, I don't think that we can argue that we are focusing on quality, nor do I see a reason to believe that quality will increase. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-fxos mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-fxos
