- The main goal here is not to file an issue for every single distinct crash report, but to find regressions of new problems that need to be addressed.
- Once you're familiar with the process this should not take more than 10 mins in the morning.
- Quick links that you should check everyday Sentry Query and Socorro Query
- Since we are focused on Java crashes, Sentry currently is the better choice.
- Ignore
level:infoissues (blue labels in Sentry). These issues are informational only.
- Look at Sentry Fenix-nightly overview. Go though trending issues. Sentry Dashboard.
- Look at Sentry custom search Sentry Query.
- Sign up for https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/stability to get a daily email on the stability of Fenix.
- Crashes that have level either Fatal or Error.
- Crashes that are occurring on latest Fenix and A-C versions.
- Crashes that are spiking.
- Crashes that are new.
- Crashes that happen repeatedly and often.
- Crashes that are happening to multiple users.
- Is this a crash due to a recent change? If so, contact the developer.
- The histogram on the right side can help determine this along with checking the Firefox-Beta and Firefox Sentry products.
- Triage the crash to determine if the issue is real and requires a GitHub issue to track it.
- When filing an issue add a link to it as a comment in the Sentry crash for the products (nightly, beta, release) where the crash appears.
- If a GitHub issue is required to track the crash, put the issue in the Android Team Backlog Staging Board.
- Notify the relevant teams on Slack/Matrix that there's a new crash in Nightly that needs urgent attention, e.g. #synced-client-integrations for all things involving application services (A-S), #nimbus-rust-sdk for Nimbus, and GeckoView on Matrix.
- If you recently landed a new module / change that is significant, contact the crash monitor so they are aware of it.
- Look at Top Crashers for Fenix Nightly for reports on Nightly builds.
- This will return zero results if GV build ID is greater than 3 days old. Change to the 7 day view and ask #releaseduty-mobile in Slack about the GV upgrade task being broken.
- Use Sentry, GitHub, and Bugzilla to determine if the crash has already been reported. If a Bugzilla bug has been filed for a crash, a link to the bug should be listed in Socorro's "Bugzilla IDs" column.
- If the crash is new and the volume is high, then consider filing an issue.
- If the crash is a native crash, file a bug using the crash-stats Bugzilla tab from a crash ID.
- If the crash is a Java crash, then consider opening an issue on GitHub.
