Litmus:Extension

Goals

• Make it easier for new testers to get started
• Help integrate testers into the community
• Make testers feel valued and encourage them to keep testing
• Encourage participation in special events (testdays, pre-release testing, etc...)

Feature Areas

• Initial setup
  • Helps users get setup with an account if they don't already have a Litmus account. Provides an introduction to Mozilla QA.
• Running tests
  • Select a testing area. Mozilla QA can push recomended areas to users to test around new code/features.
  • Run a test, select a result, next test is shown
• Community aspects
  • Joga-style notification of special testing events, linking directly to the relevant set of tests and IRC

Other ideas

• Direct link to IRC

Naming

• QMO Extension
• Tie this in with the Mozilla beta program concept somehow?

Questions

• Extension presents a separate interface to Litmus different than that of the website. Is this a problem?
• Just Firefox, or allow Thunderbird/calendar/etc... testing through the extension?
