It would be good if we could create scripts that told a machine how to generate an optimized build, a debug build, unit tests, talos runs, locale repackages.
If you look in the [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools/file/tip/scripts tools/scripts] repo you can see that we have a simple shell file to do this for the fuzzing automation. The buildbot factory that calls it is called [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/file/a70b38b40088/process/factory.py#l7895 ScriptFactorymozharness] and it is very simple.
mozharness is a single factory that buildbot can run; within mozharness, a script is selected for a specific job. This moves the job-definition responsibility out from buildbot; by separating the pieces, you avoid excessive complexity in buildbot and also open up the possibility of running mozharness manually (e.g., by a developer, to test something)

* Objective: Improve efficiency while lowering the entry level knowledge required from new developers to get involved
* http://hg.mozilla.org/users/asasaki_mozilla.com/mozharness
* separate framework - which buildbot calls
'''What are we building?'''
* Profile Build
* Tests - Mochitests, Reftests, xpcshell, ... 10 in total
** l10n builds
'''The problem that mozharness solves:'''
* buildbot uses a "factory" to run a job
* there are (becoming) too many different "factories" within buildbot
