Got Questions? Ask===Prototype new Firefox features with the Test Pilot team=== The Mozilla Test Pilot team is seeking someone to join a small, enthusiastic team focused around rapidly testing new features in Firefox. The team's process is built around getting feedback frequently and directly from an active user base which allows rapid iteration of the feature design. In this program, you will participate in a well-documented four step process:* Lo-Fi Validation: Sketches, ideation, paper prototypes, and user research.* Prelaunch: Define and build a minimum viable product, establish your testing protocols, and validate the research.* Active Testing: Launch and test your prototype, collect metrics and feedback, evolve and re-test.* Sunsetting: Analyze the tests and determine release platforms. As this program is about rapidly evaluating potential new features, the specifics of what you’ll be developing this summer haven't been settled yet--but ideas are floating around security, privacy, tracking protection, and file transfer. Below are some examples of what the team is currently prototyping as of February 2016: * Universal Search: adding recommendations from sources around the internet directly into the Awesome Bar.* Tab Center: rethinking tab management by moving tabs to the side of the browser and making them easier to search.* Better 404s: Using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to replace 404 pages with an older version of the page.* Page Shot: Enabling smarter sharing of screenshots by copying DOM content as well. Most of our development work involves writing Firefox add-ons, so you should be familiar with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. Intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm, and interest in the Open Web matters more than your past experience.
