==== How to Install ==Automated Test Frameworks ==

===== Advanced Install ==Mozmill (Firefox) Test Framework ===

==== About Mozmill ==== Mozmill is a Software Automation Test Framework that has been designed to test the Firefox Browser. The test suites are written in a domain independent language (javascript), which then uses python in the backend to communicate with a local socket in the browser. There are several pieces required to run Mozmill tests. The simplest / easiest way to get up and writing / running mozmill tests is to install mozmill crowd. This extension allows you to run mozmill tests, and get familiar with writing test cases. After this initial you will be looking for something more complex, try installing Mozmill, and the corresponding test suite so you can run tests from the command line. *If you are able to get this up and running, Congratulations.. this is how tests are run in our continuous integration environment*  ==== How to Install ==== Install Mozmill Crowd and get familiar with running automated tests [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/mozmill-crowd/ Mozmill Crowd]  ===== Advanced Install ===== Basically you need to have python 2.6 running, on linux this is fairly simple, on mac it may require some work. The eternal struggle on a mac is upgrading / installing linux based applications (fink, mac ports, have grown up to solve this problem) We like Homebrew, as the installs are non-destructive to the operating system, and localized to specific users. Without further a do, here are some instructions to get python 2.6 running.

Update Python 2.6 Formula brew create git://gist.github.com/743034 name it python26 brew install python26 (Do not run brew install python, as it will install python 2.7.1) Linux: 

sudo pip install mercurial sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper update your ~/.bash_profile export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs export PIP_VIRTUALENV_BASE=$WORKON_HOME source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh To create a new virtualenv you would do mkvirtualenv projecta –no-site-packages. “projecta” would be the name of the project you are using 

install libraries needed in the relevant virtualenv so that you don’t pollute your environment. If something goes wrong you can delete the virtualenv without breaking your machine The basic install process is well documented on : [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill Mozilla Developer]  Install the Mozmill Tests Get the tests out of the repository - [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill_Tests Mozmill Tests]  === Team Presence (Documentation) ===
