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?

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

• Mozilla Quality Feedback Agent (aka Talkback)
• Litmus

QMO Design & Planning

• The QMO Design & Planning page will help me and the QA team track our progress as we work towards making QMO a reality. We will certainly need community input and help along the way, so please check it regulary and continue to read the QA Blog for updates.
