Running unit tests should be as easy and doable by any interested tester. No complicated setup routines or pre-requisites should stop anyone by successfully running exiting unit tests in their Mobile browser. This project aim to eliminate that burden by allowing a tester to run unit tests with the tap of a button.

What do we need?
- binary extension grafxbot?
- zippity server?


grafx bot testing harness mochitest

test harness talos tests
take a javascript file, run as a browser-chrome test, inject unit tests assertion
specialpowers working is difficult, disabling/reenabling is hard


what info do we need from the phones
- retreive gfx hardware, ditch the hardware component from grafxbot


It needs a different UI
- reporting to django mysql database, web: http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/resultserv/data/results/f880a3e6-aabb-4ef0-aba0-6baa0a53bae0 example

- website in the browser
:mfinkle sanity test on the server

:mfinkle
- zippity based on google app engine
- no webpage setup to view the data
- most difficult issue: getting mochitest framework working
- mochitests need different view for data (need server side patch)
- zippity should be able to scale

- joel packaged mochikit.jar (340kb) 
- test bundle is 1.35 MB 


we don't want to have bad test that crash the phone

- run mochitest-plain remotely

jmaher: what extension - add to test harness extension
install extension local at the least, results server

jmaher: dom-level-1, dom-level-2 core.

too small window Fennec for reftests, dougt wrote a patch for that.

make documentation for automation that I mailed to AaronMT

put it on a wiki page, not on scrumpad - draft ready by the end of the week. (tony wants to talk about it in Romania)


Mochitest: dom-level-1, dom-level-2 and mochitest-plain
reftests: border-radius
