Summary: Web Applications have been the cornerstone of the Internet for some time. With the invention of Web App Stores we are seeing the ability to have web applications installed on to your local computer or on to mobile device, including a Firefox OS device.

Selenium has for years been the go to library that allows web developers and quality assurance people to make sure that the web application works as we expect. Testing apps with Selenium doesn't always work but the next generation of FirefoxDriver, called Marionette, will be able to install applications and then test them.

In this session we will have a look at how we build a basic web application and then go about setting up testing infrastructure to make sure that our web application does what we expect.

How your session furthers the MozCamp Goals: Being able to build and test web applications on:

  • Firefox Desktop
