First off i want to thank Mozilla for letting Armin and John out of there holes to come present to us.
I learned quite a lot about the process and the tough life that builders have. There task is to always improve the process, making it faster for the developers. They have taken a typical build process from what was typically done in weeks to days. Currently they can spit out a new build in under 24 hours. Now that is fast for fixing bugs/security issues. There key to success is automation and splitting tests up. As an example they used they had a test that used to run for a few hours but they split that up into 5 tests, some which may run for 15min, allowing another build to start that test while its running a different test.
Until next time!
Matt
