[IMPORTANT] QA Firefox 63 feature testing pi-requests deadline is June 20

2018-06-08 Thread Tom Grabowski
Hi,

Similar to what QA did for previous Firefox feature testing prioritization
,
we would like to do the same for Fx63. In order to help with the
process, *please
submit your pi-request
 by June 20. *This is
needed to assure QA will be involved in your feature development work for
the Nightly 63 cycle.


*Q: What happens after the deadline?*
A: After the deadline QA will come back with a prioritized list of work
that represents what we are committing to for the next cycle. We want to
ensure this list matches eng and product expectations.

*Q: What if I miss the deadline?*
A: We reserve the right to say that we can't pick up work for late requests
in the current cycle. You can still develop and execute your own test plan
or defer the work to the following cycle.

*Q: What about unknown or unexpected requests? What if there is a business
reason for a late request? What do we do with experiments and System
Add-ons?*
A: In order to remain flexible, we will keep some percentage of time open
for requests like these.

*Q: There's no way I'm going to remember to do this. *
A: Do it now! I'll also send out a reminder next week.

Thanks,
Tom

[IMPORTANT] Submit your PI Requests for Firefox 68 QA feature testing by March 29

2019-03-22 Thread Tom Grabowski
 Similar to what QA did for previous Firefox feature testing prioritization
,
we would like to do the same for Fx68. In order to help with the
process, *please
submit your pi-request
 by March 29. *This is
needed to assure QA will be involved in your feature development work for
the 68 cycle.

As you are probably aware, starting with Fx68, the release process and
schedule are changing. Full description of changes can be found here
.
By default, all PI requests are to be considered for testing in Beta cycle
only. Project teams can request if they need Nightly testing, which is now
optional.

Please note that the *feature technical documentation needs to be ready
before April 12*, so that QA has enough time to design the test plan.
Please make sure your documentation follows these guidelines: Feature
Technical Documentation Guidelines
.
For *features that require Nightly testing*, please provide documentation
as soon as possible. QA cannot start working on your feature without
documentation.



*Q: What happens after the deadline?*
A: After the deadline QA will come back with a prioritized list of work
that represents what we are committing to for the next cycle. We want to
ensure this list matches eng and product expectations.

*Q: What if I miss the deadline?*
A: We reserve the right to say that we can't pick up work for late requests
in the current cycle. You can still develop and execute your own test plan
or defer the work to the following cycle.

*Q: What about unknown or unexpected requests? What if there is a business
reason for a late request? What do we do with experiments and System
Add-ons?*
A: In order to remain flexible, we will keep some percentage of time open
for requests like these.

*Q: There's no way I'm going to remember to do this. *
A: Do it now! I'll also send out a reminder next week.

Thanks,
Tom

We have migrated JIRA ServiceDesk to local JIRA Server instance

2019-06-15 Thread Tom Grabowski
Hi,

If you log, or work with, PI Requests, please read this email.

Today, we have migrated our cloud instance of JIRA ServiceDesk into our
local JIRA Software. This resulted in some important changes that I will
outline below.

*Why did we do it?*
- We won't have problems with licenses anymore (we kept running out of
licenses on ServiceDesk)
- We can now use Mozilla LDAP SSO to log in to JIRA
- Easier maintenance and compatibility with other teams who use JIRA at
Mozilla
- More features, allowing future improvements and integrations

*Is the URL to the service the same?*
No. The new URL is https://jira.mozilla.com   (the old URL was
moz-pi-test.atlassian.net)

*Is the UI the same as before?*
No. JIRA Software is not the same product as JIRA ServiceDesk. The UI will
look a bit different, but all the fields, states and other concepts are the
same, so the transition should be quite painless for most.

*Where are my existing PI Requests?*
In order to figure out correct URL to access your existing PI Requests, you
need to know the request number. For example, if your PI Request number was
PI-123, the new URL will be this: https://jira.mozilla.com/browse/PI-123
If you don't know your PI Request number, you can either try to find it
here: https://jira.mozilla.com/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=263 or
contact me for help.

*How do I log new PI Requests?*
New URLs are documented on our PI Request mana page:
https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/PI/PI+Request

*I have other question or issue that wasn't answered above.*
Please contact me and I will be able to help.


I would encourage everybody to try to log in to the new system in order to
make sure you have the correct permissions. You can use the example URL I
showed above to make sure you can see the ticket correctly:
https://jira.mozilla.com/browse/PI-123

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marek Platta and Majken
Longlade for their hard work on this migration, and for working during the
weekend to keep the disruptions to minimum. Great job guys!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

Regards,
Tom

Re: [IMPORTANT] Submit your PI Requests for Firefox 72 QA feature testing by Nov 1

2019-10-29 Thread Tom Grabowski
PI team has made the criteria for feature inclusion in release scope
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AGECCV-V_-AYMq5C_yoWBJJ6vrl5ZdzTUgX8vM52yZc/edit#>
more crisp, starting with Fx72.


At the start of every Nightly cycle, all features in scope will need to
provide the following information (as per Fx72 release schedule
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10VEf3__QCWDb4EGom-W6qGPlu71R_fDQiTCLc-7Sggo/edit#gid=1793473785>
):


   -

   PI Request submitted in JIRA (Done by milestone: PI Request due -- November
   1st for Fx72)
   - Trello card in Firefox board <https://trello.com/b/8k1hT2vh/firefox>
   (Done by milestone: Feature documentation due *-- *November 8th for Fx72)
   -

   Feature documentation shared (Done by milestone: *Feature documentation
   due -- *November 8th for Fx72)

If a feature does *not *meet all the criteria listed above by *November 8th*,
it will need to go through a *VP (product, engineering) release exception
process* to remain in release scope.

[IMPORTANT] Submit your PI Requests for Firefox 72 QA feature testing by Nov 1

2019-10-23 Thread Tom Grabowski
Similar to what QA did for previous Firefox feature testing prioritization
,
we would like to do the same for Fx72. In order to help with the process,
please *submit your pi-request
*
by *November 1*. This
is needed to assure QA will be involved in your feature development work
for the 72 cycle. Kindly ensure to update the *Priority of the PI
request *(Highest,
High, Medium, Low, Lowest) as during feature prioritization process, this
will be factored in to ensure critical features have sufficient resources
assigned.

Please note that the *Feature technical documentation* for *features
require beta testing* needs to be ready before *November 8*. Please follow
the Feature Technical Documentation Guidelines Template

and share the information with the QA owners or add the link in the PI
request in JIRA. For *features that require Nightly testing*, please
provide documentation *as soon as possible*. QA cannot start working on
your feature without documentation.

*Q: What happens after the deadline?*
A: After the deadline QA will come back with a prioritized list of work
that represents what we are committing to for the next cycle. We want to
ensure this list matches eng and product expectations.

* Q: What if I miss the deadline?*
A: We reserve the right to say that we can't pick up work for late requests
in the current cycle. You can still develop and execute your own test plan
or defer the work to the following cycle.

* Q: What about unknown or unexpected requests? What if there is a business
reason for a late request? What do we do with experiments and System*
A: In order to remain flexible, we will keep some percentage of time open
for requests like these.

*Q: There's no way I'm going to remember to do this.*
A: Do it now! I'll also send out a reminder next week.
