Mozilla Discussion

To briefly digress from the success and failures of my current Irssi build, I will like to take this time to acknowledge the guys, who are doing a great job on the Mozilla Project. I wanted to touch on this; due to my most recent sit-in, with two gentlemen, who are currently working on a number different things related to Mozilla Firefox. These two individuals go by the name of Armen and John. I found their lecture to be very informative in terms of highlighting a number of different processes, and Regression testing, which are employed on  a daily basis. This includes the monitoring of builds, and various stages of testing that come in to play before the product is released to the end--user and tools used to ensure the build follows a specific criterion.

I was particularly impressed with how the Mozilla team, has achieved great success, with their streamlined automation and monitoring of package builds. Automation of processes seems like the best way to go, when you have an overwhelming number tasks to accomplish within a very narrow window (of time). Once again, thanks for insightful information session...great job!
