Hi all!

Trunk trees are currently closed [1] - the requirements for reopening are:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932781#c11

tl;dr we need owners for these bugs:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932898
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932880

Please can anyone who has any spare cycles take a look! :-)

Best wishes,

Ed

[1] Apart from b2g-inbound, since that doesn't run Windows 7 tests, 
which are the ones that are being the most problematic.

Hi,

When we moved to the inbound model of tree management, the Tree Sheriffs
became a crucial part of our engineering infrastructure. The primary
responsibility of the Sheriffs is and will always be to aid developers to
easily, quickly, and seamlessly land their code in the proper location(s)
and ensure that code does not break our automated tests. In the service of
this objective, the Sheriffs work closely with the larger engineering
organization to create and enforce landing policies that increase
productivity while maintaining an efficient and robust automated testing
system. Beyond the policy role, they have also become shepherds of
automation quality by monitoring intermittent failures, performing uplifts
and merges, and identifying poorly performing automation machines. This
role has proven successful, and so a formal module for the Tree Sheriffs in
the larger context of the Activities Module was created.

But of course there is always room for improvements and ideas how we can
make things better. In order to get a picture from our Community how things
went and how we can improve our day-to day-work.

So we created the Sheriff Survey here - http://goo.gl/forms/kRXZDtSjSj

Thanks for taking part in that!

First: Welcome Nigel Babu (irc: nigelb) our latest addition to the Sheriffs
Team!

Also a  few words about checkin-needed requests since we got some questions
during the month.

-> Work is being done on an autolander system that lands your patches to
mozilla-inbound for example. However that system is not ready yet, so all
checkin-needed requests are being handled by a human and not automated.

->  When you have multiple check-ins that need to land, it would be helpful
if you could indicate in the checkin-needed request which dependencies the
bug has, or which parts of the patches you want to get landed (like part 3
to 4 etc)

-> It would be super helpful if your commit message on the patch you want
to get checked-in is complete with bug number, title and reviewer name.
This helps a lot!

Help needed for Bugs keeping the Aurora Tree Closed after the 44->45 Uplift

2015-12-16 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

we currently have the Aurora Tree closed since we have some test failures
etc after the merge from 44-45 on Monday.

I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233066 as tracking
bug for this issues and it would be greatly appreciated if we could fix
this asap to reopen aurora for uplifts.

So any help welcome here, the bugs are listed as dependency from bug

Thanks for all the great teamwork with the Sheriffs in 2015!

2015-12-30 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

Sheriffing is not just about Checkins, Uplifts and Backouts - its also a
lot of teamwork with different Groups and our Community like Developers, IT
Teams and Release Engineering and a lot more to keep the trees up and
running. And without this great teamwork our job would be nearly impossible!

So far in 2015 we had around:

56471 changesets with 336218 changes to 70807 files in mozilla-central
and 4391 Bugs filed for intermittent failures (and a lot of them fixed).

So thanks a lot for the great teamwork with YOU in 2015 - especially also a
great thanks to our Community Sheriffs like philor, nigelb and Aryx who
done great work!

I hope we can continue this great teamwork in 2016 and also the monthly
sheriff report with interesting news from the sheriffs and how you can
contribute will continue then :)

Have a great start into 2016!

While we try to check the Trees every now and then and have Community
Sheriffs around we can not guarantee the normal tree coverage as usual
(that also include checkin-needed tasks).

Sheriff Newsletter for January 2016

Hi,

1. How-To article of the month and notable things!

-> In the Sheriff Newsletter we mentioned the "Orange Factor" but what is
this ? It is simply the ratio of oranges (test failures) to test runs. The
ideal value is, of course, zero.

Practically, this is virtually impossible for a code base of any
substantial size,so it is a matter of policy as to what is an acceptable
orange factor.

It is worth noting that the overall orange factor indicates nothing about
the severity of the oranges. [4]

The main site where you can checkout the "Orange Factor" is at
https://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/ and some interesting info's
are here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/OrangeFactor

-> As you might be aware Firefox OS has moved into Tier 3 Support [5] -
this means that there is no Sheriff Support anymore for the b2g-inbound
tree.

Also with moving into tier-3 - b2g tests have also moved to tier 3 and this
tests are by default "hidden" on treeherder. To view test results as
example on treeherder for mozilla-central you need to click on the checkbox
in the treeview "show/hide excluded jobs".

Tree Closures due to Bug 1286942 Buildbot DB Issues

Hi,

we currently have a complete tree closure due to Buildbot DB Issues.

The Teams working on resolving this issue and the Tracking Bug is:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1286942

There is no ETA yet for reopening.

Thanks for your patience.

P.S. one way to get patches checked-in automatically would be using
MozReview and Autoland to push it when then tree reopens.

Checkin-needed requests - Please include complete information in the commit message :)

2016-07-08 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

someone might not know that doing checkins for checkin-needed request is
not automated yet and completely a fully human task :) (no we Sheriffs are
not bots ;)

It would help us a lot if a checkin needed request would contain complete
Author/Patch information like:


   - Author (use the information from their Bugzilla account if needed)
   with Name *and *Emailadress.
   - Bug number
   - Commit message (keeping in mind that the commit message should be a
   brief description of what the patch is *doing*)
  - Format should be something like "Bug 123456 - Add a null check to
  XYZ to avoid a crash. r=somebody"


And also if there is a specific sequence/dependency you want to checkin the
patches it would help also a lot  if you could make a short comment in the
Bug like please checkin part x then patch y or like first bug 123 then this
bug and then bug 8910.

This would help us a lot :)

Thanks!

Sheriff Highlights and Summary in January 2017

2017-02-01 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

We will be more active in 2017 and we blog more about whats happening in
Sheriffing.

So happened in January in 2017 in Sheriffing.

Sheriffs monitored in January 2017 about  ~ 4121 checkins (including merge
changesets) to mozilla-central with commits coming from the integration
branches.

In this ~ 4121 checkins are about ~ 302 Backouts for various reasons.

Beside this, Sheriffs took part in doing checkin-needed landings, uplifts
and making sure Trees are ok after merge day when Trunk moved to
Mozilla/Firefox-54.

The Current Orangefactor is 12.6 (7818 test failures failures in 620 pushes
in the last 7 days).

You can find the list of top Intermittent failure bugs here
https://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/

You can find more general statistics here: http
s

://futurama.theautomatedtester.co.uk/


Initiatives Sheriffs currently involved or Meetings happened this month:

-> we are working with James Graham to improve Auto-Classfication
-> looking into how we can support
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Stockwell/Meetings with making
sure bugs are addressed.

Also as part of more blogging about Sheriffing we published a post about

Sheriff Highlights and Summary in March 2017 (and even Q1 2017)

2017-04-04 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

We will be more active in 2017 and inform more about whats happening in
Sheriffing and since its already April..lets go :)

The Paid Sheriffs (kwierso and me) are now reporting to Chris Cooper (coop)
and we would like to thank David Burns (Automatedtester) for his
awesomeness in leading and guiding us the last years and we are excited to
rock Sheriffing with Coop!

A lot of Interest in the last weekswas about the Tree Statistics ,so with
the help of a Script from Automatedtester here are some more detailed
information about our work on the integration trees:

*March 2017:*

*Autoland Tree:*
Total Servo Sync Pushes: 219
Total Pushes: 1655
Total Number of commits 3851
Total number of commits without Servo 3627
Total Backouts: 137
Total of Multi-bug pushes 20 (note this are in the autoland case, sheriffs
tree merges from mozilla-central to autoland)
Total number of bugs changed 1564
Percentage of backout against bugs: 8.75959079284
Percentage of backouts: 8.27794561934
Percentage of backouts without Servo: 9.54038997214

*Mozilla-Inbound*
Total Pushes: 1071
Total Number of commits 3471
Total Backouts: 138
Total of Multi-bug pushes 189
Total number of bugs changed 1478
Percentage of backout against bugs: 9.33694181326
Percentage of backouts: 12.8851540616

*For Q1* (since end of March was also Q1/2017 end) the overall data look
like:

*Autoland Q1:*

Total Servo Sync Pushes: 317
Total Pushes: 4099
Total Number of commits 9710
Total number of commits without Servo 9349
Total Backouts: 362
Total of Multi-bug pushes 56 (Sheriff managed integration tree merges from
mozilla-central to autoland)
Total number of bugs changed 4348
Percentage of backout against bugs: 8.32566697332
Percentage of backouts: 8.83142229812
Percentage of backouts without Servo: 9.57165520888


*Mozilla-Inbound Q1*

Total Pushes: 3271
Total Number of commits 18209
Total Backouts: 378
Total of Multi-bug pushes 571
Total number of bugs changed 4630
Percentage of backout against bugs: 8.16414686825
Percentage of backouts: 11.5560990523


So Sheriffs managed and monitored on the Integration Trees in March 2017 ~
2700 pushes and 275 backouts.

Overall in Q1 2017 we managed and monitored 7370 pushes and 740 backouts on
the Integration Trees.

Also blogged about Backouts & Sheriffing in
https://blog.mozilla.org/tomcat/2017/04/03/sheriffing-and-backouts/

Beside this Sheriffs took park in doing uplifts and checkin-needed bugs.

The Current Orangefactor is 10.11 (7392 test failures failures in 731
pushes in the last 7 days). You can find the list of top Intermittent
failure bugs here https://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/

You can find more statistics here:
https://futurama.theautomatedtester.co.uk/

If you want also to be a Community Sheriffs, as part of more blogging
about Sheriffing i published a blog post about it and let us know if you
want to be involved! :

Let us know when you have any Question or Feedback about Sheriffing.

Cheers and have a great April!,

Re: Sheriff Highlights and Summary in February 2017

2017-03-07 Thread Carsten Book

Hi Lawrence,

most (i would say 95 %) of the backouts are for Code issues - this include
bustages and test failures.

>From this Code Issues i would guess its about 2/3 for breaking tests and
1/3 Build Bustages.

The other backout reasons are merge conflicts / backout requests for
changes causes new regressions out of our test suites / backout requests
from developers etc -

In February the backout rate was (excluding the servo merge with 8315
changesets from the 13242) = 297 in 4927 changesets = ~ 6 %
In January the backout rate = 302 backouts in 4121 changesets = 7 %

We had a much higher backout rate in the past i think - so it stabilized
now with this 6-7 % backout rate in the last months,

If you think its useful, i can provide for the next monthly report a more
detailed analysis like x % =  backouts because builds bustages, y %=
backouts for test failures etc .

Cheers,
 -Tomcat

2017-03-07 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

i agree with Sebastian - the integration of submitting to try and getting
the results in mozreview helps i think a lot.

Also this is all great feedback and will add a more detailed area about
backouts (where they happen like inbound/autoland, and reason) in the next
sheriff monthly report.

Sheriff Highlights and Summary in February 2017

2017-03-01 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

We will be more active in 2017 and inform more about whats happening in
Sheriffing and since its already March :)

In February we had about 13242 changesets landed on mozilla-central
monitored by Sheriffs.

(The high number of changes is because of the merge from servo to
mozilla-central with about 8315 changesets).

297 changesets were backed out in February.

Beside this Sheriffs took park in doing uplifts and checkin-needed bugs.

The Current Orangefactor is 10.43 (7250 test failures failures in 695
pushes in the last 7 days).
You can find the list of top Intermittent failure bugs here
https://brasstacks.mozilla.com/orangefactor/

You can find more statistics here:
https://futurama.theautomatedtester.co.uk/

A big thanks to the Team especially our Community Sheriffs for handling the
new Tier 2 Stylo Build on integration trees  and mozilla-central  and the
teamwork with the Developers!

If you want also to be a Community Sheriffs, as part of more blogging about
Sheriffing i published a blog post about it :

Hi,
just a reminder that we have our Sheriff Survey Running and please take
part in it, it helps us a lot to improve our work!

Sheriff Survey Results

2017-06-23 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

first a super big thanks for taking part in this years Sheriff Survey -
this helps us a lot !

Here are the results.

1. Overall "satisfaction" - we have asked how People rate their interaction
with us (from 1 (bad) to 10 (best)

So far from all results:

3,1 % = 5
3,1 % = 7
12,5 % = 8
43,8 % = 9
37,5 % = 10

2. What can we do better  as Sheriffs?

We got a lot of Feedback thats its not easy to find out who is on
"sheriffduty". We will take steps (like adding |sheriffduty tag to irc
names etc) also we have https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1144589
with the target to have that name on treeherder.

Also we try to make sure to Set Needinfo requests on Backouts.

In any case, backouts are never meant to be personal and it’s part of our
job to try our best to keep our trees open for developers. We also try to
provide as much information as possible in the bug for why we
backed out a change.

3. Things we can improve in general (not just sheriffs) ?

A interesting Idea in the Feedback we got was about Automation. We will
follow up from the Feedback and i already filed
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1375520 for the Idea of having
a "Backout Button" in Treeherder in case no Sheriff is around etc - more
bugs from ideas to improve general stuff and workflows will follow.

Again thanks for taking part in the Survey and if you have
questions/feedback/concerns/ideas you can of course contact me / the team
at anytime !

Cheers,

- Tomcat

Sheriff Survey started & Sheriff Statistics May 2017

2017-06-07 Thread Carsten Book

Hi,

just one second before i start into statistics

One thing i love at Mozilla is that there is no general "that's the way we
have always done it.." - we at Mozilla also try to improve things - our
Software but also our processes and so its also with Sheriffing - We try to
optimize our workflow/processes constantly to make your live as developer
easier when working with us but ... we rely also on your feedback :)

So we created a Survey for YOU to give us Feedback about how we do and also
where we can improve. This input/Feedback from you is very valuable for us!

You can find the Survey at http://bit.ly/2rzMjNi -
https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/forms/d/1a8QmBraKjW750WVU01pbsWwE-KU2j10dHHWJx5cGi0g

Thanks for taking part in the Survey!

and now the Statistics for May 2017

*May 2017:*

Percentage of backouts: 8.49567099567
Percentage of backouts without Servo: 9.92414664981 (also more commits in
May compared April and backout rate drop of  -0,6 %)
