Automated testing for MailNews (i.e. [[Thunderbird]] and the Mail/Newsgroups part of [[SeaMonkey]]) is becoming more important. We need to ensure that when we are fixing bugs we do not introduce regressions in other areas of the code. Automated testing is a vital part of this.
 
This page and its sub-pages are intended to describe and provide pointers to the available test mechanisms within MailNews and supporting information for developers and testers.
 
See also [[MailNews:Performance Testing]].
 
== General Notes ==
 
The [http://developer.mozilla.org/ devmo] pages have some good descriptions on how to start writing [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_automated_testing automated tests].
 
Not all the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_automated_testing automated tests] will work at the moment, some of them require new support architectures, some of them require other issues fixing before they will pass/work correctly.
 
== Automated Tests ==
 
* [[MailNews:xpcshell tests]]
** These currently run on the [http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/ SeaMonkey tinderboxes], and report as TUnit. Thunderbird hopes to pick running of these up soon ({{bug|422817}}).
