Language Engineering

Multimedia

edit
  • UploadWizard refactoring is chugging along, but nothing affecting other teams yet
  • Could use some input from milimetric on one of our cards...
  • Zeljko on vacation
  • Greg on vacation
  • Emily (hiring recruiter) on vacation
  • Quarterly review next week
  • Added browser tests for Cite UI in VE
  • Added Jenkins job for new Echo browser tests
  • Planning big projects for next quarter: improve Jenkins performance and more better test environments
    • Specifically, the load on the Jenkins hosts is high enough that Selenium client processes get stuck for 90+ seconds at a time. After 90 seconds with no instructions from Selenium, Sauce destroys the VM, causing a false test failure.
