1040544 - [Adding Component] Request of adding components

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration, task, P1)

Description

[Walter Chen[:ypwalter][:wachen]]

Currently, we are using FirefoxOS::General or FirefoxOS::Performance for current MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure tests). However, we do need some categories to fit the best of current MTBF tests.

We need more categories for other new stability requests and MTBF automation framework/bugs
1) For MTBF crashes/hangs/bugs, We will ask to create a bugzilla component called “Firefox OS :: Stability”
2) For MTBF framework issues, We will ask to create a bugzilla component called “Testing :: MTBF"

If there are other procedures and information needed to be provided, please feel no hesitate to contact/ni? me.

Along with rapid growing of Firefox OS, stability issues has become more and more important than ever before. This is for all stability tests on Firefox OS (B2G).

if a b2g-stability flag on bug can be added for now, it will be excellent.

2.
Testing :: MTBF
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is really important for hardware/software stability testing. This is set up for any bug, request, and so forth

b2g-stability would be a new flag? If so, I need the information here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/Requesting_Changes#Flags.

Comment 4

[Walter Chen[:ypwalter][:wachen]]

I would like to have a new flag for future usage. I mean... currently, there might be only few people caring about it. However, it will be a gate keeper for B2G later. I think I want it now just in case we need it soon.


    The name of the flag: b2g-stability
    A longer description: 
      If anything failed in stability testing, like endurance testing or MTBF, it should be blocked.
    Which products/components the flag should appear in
      Firefox OS / B2G
    Whether the flag applies to bugs or attachments
      bugs
    Whether the flag is requestable (i.e. users can ask for flags of this type to be set)
      yes
    Whether the flag should be requested from a specific person
      no
    Whether the flag can be set multiple times
      no
    If flags of this type are requestable, the group allowed to request them, if any
      anyone
    The group allowed to grant/deny flags of this type, if any
      Taiwan QAs
    CC list for request notifications, if any (all valid Bugzilla accounts) 
      [e-mail], [e-mail]

The components are created & available, but it's come to my attention that you may be better served by the creation of a keyword.

Generally flags only make sense when you need to review and accept/deny something (eg. reviews).  looking at the description of your flag, i'm not sure that b2g-stability? and b2g-stability- would ever make sense.

An alternative to flags and keywords is to use the whiteboard, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/Whiteboard for some examples

I believe it would come to a point that this would be a blocker for b2g releasing later. Actually, it is a blocker for some builds for now. I will ccing more people for further explanation, thoughts, and ideas.

[Dylan Hardison [:dylan] (he/him)]

My previous comment was a little unclear, let me rephrase:
 
We can add a b2g-stability bug flag. Bug flags are used when you need to review and accept/deny a bug for some purpose, for example inclusion in a particular release.
The flag would have three possible values: review ("?"), allow ("+"), and deny ("-").
 
Instead, we could add a b2g-stability keyword, which is like a tag on the bug. Keywords can be either present or absent.
 
A third option would be to use the whiteboard, where you could use a string like [b2g-stability]. Using the whiteboard doesn't require any admin assistance.
 
Which of these options do you think matches the requirements the best?

FWIW - I'd suggest using a keyword here. That way you can flag down bugs specifically that you saw during your b2g-stability testing.

[Walter Chen[:ypwalter][:wachen]]

ok then. let's not set up a flag for now. Thanks.

[Dylan Hardison [:dylan] (he/him)]

Closing this bug then. If you want a flag or keyword added later, file a new bug and I'll be happy to take care of that.
