Who Is In The FX OS QA Community

An overview of the FX OS QA Community based on the larger Mozilla Community.

Who makes up the FX OS QA Community

Most smartphones are made by a small number of people, all in one place, probably pretty far from where you live. Firefox OS phones are different. They’re made by a huge global community and are the only smartphones that understand and deliver what you want and need. In order to continually improve the FX OS product, we need the help of testers around the globe.
