Each phase of Test Pilot consists of prototype building and evaluation through user testing. Only in the third phase is any prototype deployed to the Test Pilot application itself. | |||

= Who Builds and Manages Test Pilot? = | |||
Test Pilot is run by two groups of people: the '''Build Team''' responsible for day to day engineering, UX, and product processes and '''Mission Control''', a group of cross-disciplinary members of the Firefox team tasked with steering individual projects and the Test Pilot project as a whole. | |||
Team members are amplifiers for people participating in the program. When a person or group submits an idea to Test Pilot they are starting a process in which they should expect to be involved until a conclusion is reached. | |||
Test Pilot team members help participants progress through the Test Pilot process in whichever ways are needed - from boiling an idea down to get at a measurable core concept, documenting an idea thoroughly, iterating on designs and prototypes, assisting with coding, communicating with appropriate teams around Mozilla, and helping uplift a successful idea to its next stage in life. An analogy could be made between Test Pilot team members and consultants. | |||
