Bug Verification Day
Provide a brief description of the focus area of the event and what you want to accomplish.
Details
- Where: IRC #testday channel
- When: Every Wednesday, all day long
Pre-requisites
- Bugzilla
Bugzilla is Mozilla's bug tracking system. This is where bugs are reported and where every change for a bug is stored and tracked.
To mark a bug as fixed or any other Bugzilla work, you will need to sign in to a Bugzilla account or to Mozilla Persona. If you don't already have an account, you can sign up here.
- Mozilla Persona
Persona is a service developed by Mozilla which enables secure access to various services using nothing more than your email address and password. You can start using Persona for Bugzilla by clicking Sign in to Persona (blue "Sign in" arrow) here.
The Persona account can also be used for signing in to other Mozilla sites (e.g. Moztrap, Mozillians).
- Mozillians
Mozillians is a network of our contributors. You might want to join it in order to connect with other contributors regarding community events, contribution opportunities, knowledge sharing and so on.
- Builds
If you have any questions regarding the above or this event, please address them on the IRC #testday channel.
How to Verify bugs
Read the description and comments in the bug to understand the problem. If you don't understand the bug, comment it asking for whatever additional details you need to understand and verify it. Once you understand the bug, try to reproduce it on the build it was found on (or any build with the bug and without the fix). In case you can't reproduce the bug on the build without the fix, add a comment about this in the bug and move on to another bug. In case you can reproduce the bug on the build without the fix, get the latest Firefox 20 build and verify if the bug was fixed there. When possible, also do some exploratory testing around the fix to ensure nothing got broken. If the bug was not completely fixed in the Firefox 20 build, comment the bug with the details of what you are reproducing and the buildID + User Agent. If the bug was fixed in the Firefox 20 build, mark the status-firefox20 field as verified and comment it with the details of your verification, including buildID + User Agent.
Notes: Please make sure to verify the bugs on the OS/Platforms they were filed against.
