If you are an active Mozillian or just want dive right in and would like to get involved in the Games QA project you can start by reading through the section on how we are approaching the games testing and then checking out the public demos listed below and give them a try. Due to the large number of graphics and audio drivers and chip sets out there, we need as many different hardware/software combinations as possible to test on. | |||
==== Requirments ==== | |||
Many of the games will require use of WebGL. The easiest way to verify that your hardware supports this is to type "about:support" into your awesome bar and scroll down the Graphics section. There should be an entry WebGL if it lists manufacture | |||
Example: | |||
WebGL Renderer NVIDIA Corporation -- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M OpenGL Engine | |||
If your systems does not support WebGL you will see: | |||
WebGL Renderer Blocked for your graphics driver or version. | |||
If you see this, you may only see a black screen or the game may fail to load if it requires WebGL. | |||
=== Testing Approach === | |||
For games we are approaching the testing of each =each game as an End to End test case. Play the game/demo and watch for Audio/Video and game play anomalies. | |||

==== Filing Bugs ==== | |||
When filing a bug for a games related issue please be sure to include "[games]" in the Whiteboard field. This will make sure the bug is included in the Games team's bug queries | |||
