They were split them up so that each student was responsible for 10 of them (myself with experiments [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Firefox_Performance_Testing_Lab_Fall_2010_sweerdenburg 71-80]. The offending experiments (aka test cases) were then collated and subjected to a second round of testing and finally filing. The complete list of class findings can be seen [[Firefox_Performance_Testing_Lab_Fall_2010|here]]. '''Bugs Filed''':*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598831 Liquid Particles perf bug (dupe)]*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599236 Video->ASCII Conversion perf bug]*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598834 Animated Harmonograph perf bug] ==== Primary Project (BBB) ====My primary project will be to collaborate with [[User:Kclascon|Kevin Lasconia]] to create a video player in HTML5 and JavaScript. This project will be to work alongside current Flash-based players, which will serve as a fallback in a non-compliant browser. Complete project details can be found on our [[HTML5_Open_Video_Player|project page]] or at the [http://developer.nfb.ca/trac/web/wiki/NFBHTML5videoplayer developer spec]. ==== Secondary Project (C3DL) ====As browsers are incorporating hardware acceleration as standard, WebGL is on the horizon as a web technology. The [[Canvas3D_JS_Library|C3DL JavaScript library]] has been in development to make it easier for web applications to use WebGL. They are presently working to refactor the existing code and incorporate a [[OSD600Project-C3DLRefactoring|build system]] as well as automated testing environment. I will contribute to this project in addition to follow my primary project above. ==== Weekly Progress ==== {| class="standard-table" border="1"|-! Week of! Project!
