Yesterday I recorded a session where I looked at alerts from an uplift.  I did a lot of rambling and not a lot of content, but there are a few interesting differences between uplift alerts and normal alerts:

• a 6 week snapshot
• we try to match them up historically
• there should be pre-existing bugs
• a lot of time there are odd things
• we need to account for differences in build/configs between trunk and aurora/beta.

If you want to take a look at this, the link is on air.mozilla.com.

I do plan to do more episodes soon, a few topics of interest:

• understanding the noisy tests (bi-modal, noise)
• comparing talos on android to the new ported tests to autophone
• running talos locally and interpreting the results
• looking at intermittent failures in general- maybe with a focus on Talos issues.
