Overview
The team focuses on testing current and upcoming releases of Firefox on Android. Some of our responsibilities include qualifying builds prior to a maintenance or milestone release. Some of the responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Verifying bugs using a triage strategy
- Running basic functional tests and smoke tests - mostly manual; but automated in the near future
- Running our manual test suites on localized builds
- Making sure web content is viewable, acceptable and ready for consumption in Firefox for Android
In addition to qualifying builds prior to a release, we perform ongoing tasks on the development branches to ensure no major problems get uplifted as we merge changes to the next branch. For example, on a daily basis we:
- Confirm new unconfirmed bugs
- Verify bugs on development branches like Aurora and Beta
- Engage community and new volunteers in helping improve Firefox through test day events
- Interact with developers to help them test the features they implement
- Perform exploratory testing on new features while on the Aurora branch
- Write test cases in Moztrap for new features
- Monitor crash-stats to assess stability
- File and track new crasher bugs as they appear in crash-stats
- Manage web compatibility testing through community involvement or crowdsourcing companies that help in testing different Android device configurations and top-site testing
All of which help assess the quality of individual new features as well as the Firefox version as a whole.
