QA/Community

Welcome to the Mozilla QA Community Wiki!

As our Mozilla community grows, this page will provide a central place for QA volunteers to help us better organize, plan, and execute our community testing. Any documentation or information that you feel will benefit our QA efforts is welcome here.

Who We Are

Aside from the few of us working at Mozilla, there are many volunteers that help us with Mozilla QA. In order to get to know each other, feel free to add an entry to Mozilla Testers and tell us more about yourself. How long have you been a Mozilla volunteer and/or user? Where are you from and what do you do when you're not testing/hacking for Mozilla?

How Can You Help?

• Most of our updates and calls for help will be posted at the Mozilla QA Blog
• Tell us how we can work together better by sharing your thoughts and ideas in the Suggestion Box

Community Events

• Test Days - We will often need your help testing new features or a new release, so we will be holding regular test days to give you a chance to try out the latest builds and test around new fixes and features.

• Bug Days - Every Tuesday, we will be gathering in #qa to focus our efforts on bugs in Bugzilla and testing some of the latest builds.

• Future Events?
  • As Mozilla continues to innovate the web experience through new features, we will need to make sure we thoroughly test any new functionality introduced in Firefox and Thunderbird. In order to ensure we catch any regressions and identify critical bugs quickly, we will occassionally have special New Feature Testing (NFT) events. When we do, we will post to the QA blog and also provide a test plan here that includes more information about the feature, any current bugs, test cases, and instructions on how to provide feedback.

QA Tools

Sites that would be helpful to integrate into QMO

• http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html (sample of what a good bug day page should look like... with plenty of help, bugzilla queries, etc)
• http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/ (nice list of general info about how to get involved, should be updated and organized for easier browsing)
• http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips (might be a nice way to get regular users to try "hacking" Firefox and learn more about how things work... for advanced users only)
• http://wiki.flock.com/index.php?title=Verifying_a_bug (needs to be updated to reflect Mozilla community, contributed/maintained by Eli Goldberg)

Sites that need updating and should be added to QMO

Sites that are obsolete and need to be removed from mozilla.org and not added to QMO
