| GristMill/MozMill integration | |||
| GristMill is a tool designed to allow UI automation for testing. It is suited to bloat tests, because it will make it easy to consistently test the UI and we will be able to test the UI is working at the same time as testing leak/bloat. | |||

| SMTP fake server integration - sending messages | |||
| We already have a fake server for SMTP in mailnews. Integrating it into our tests will allow checking of the mail sending process (from compose window to server) at a UI level and for leak/bloat. | |||
|} | |} | ||
Note: leaving the main wanted improvements to those at the moment. MozMill integration would be the biggest win and provide us with much easier ways of generating tests for the code. Meanwhile getting the appropriate hooks in place for a fake SMTP server and allowing that to run is probably also a reasonable amount of work, but separate to the MozMill integration. --[[User:Standard8|Standard8]] 10:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC) | Note: leaving the main wanted improvements to those at the moment.

* I've added IMAP & NNTP to the future requirements for the profile, as I mentioned in my posting, the initial task is to get some basic data asap. I will try and add these if there is time before I do the tests --[[User:Standard8|Standard8]] 00:34, 9 April 2008 (PDT) | *I've added IMAP & NNTP to the future requirements for the profile, as I mentioned in my posting, the initial task is to get some basic data asap.

* We want a server running on the tinderbox to avoid network problems and latencies. The server would use a consistent data set and wouldn't be changeable from outside. --[[User:Standard8|Standard8]] 00:34, 9 April 2008 (PDT) | *We want a server running on the tinderbox to avoid network problems and latencies.
