Overview

Mozilla QA uses Mozmill, a tool developed for test automation of applications based on the Gecko Platform (XUL Runner).

We use this tool to automate our manual tests in Litmus. The primary goal is to lessen the time we spend actively testing Smoketest, Basic Functional, and Full Functional level regression tests; enabling us to focus our time more on deep testing of bleeding-edge features and bugs.

An added benefit of using automation is that we can run tests across multiple platforms and locales in parallel, thereby increasing the coverage of regression tests in a smaller amount of time. To put that all into perspective, a single person running the BFTs on one platform and one locale takes about 8 hours. Mozmill can run the same tests across all platforms and all locales in a couple of hours.

The Mozmill tool and APIs are maintained and developed by the Automation Services team. The relatively small Desktop Automation team is responsible for developing the tests. This is where we need you, the community.

  • Join the #mozmill IRC channel to ask about Mozmill
  • Join the #automation IRC channel to ask about test automation

Meetings

Every two weeks we meet to discuss the progress we have made, where we want to go, and how we are going to get there. You can learn a lot about what we do just by listening in to one of our meetings. These meetings are open to everyone.

How To Help

Test Failures

RESOLVED FIXED
  • Verify test passes using the next day's dashboard results
  • Update the spreadsheet
  • Re-enable the test in Litmus

New Tests

RESOLVED FIXED
  • Verify test passes using next day's dashboard results
  • Update spreadsheet
  • Add boilerplate to Litmus test
<hr />
Covered by Mozmill test:<br>
<a href="URL TO TEST IN default BRANCH ON hg.mozilla.org">folder/testModule.js</a>
  • Add Litmus test to Aurora Mozmill Tests subgroup

l10n Tests

What Are They?

l10n Tests are used to verify the numerous language translations (locales) do not break functionality and UI in Firefox.
