= Automation and Tools Engineering =
Welcome to the wiki home of the Mozilla Automation and Tools group ("the A-Team" for short).  We are a small group dedicated to improving our automation infrastructure and tools to better support all of Mozilla's Development and Testing efforts.
 
[[auto-tools/The_Ateam|Meet the A-Team]]!
 
Want to write a test but don't know what framework to use? Or just plain interested in the myriad ways that we test our software?  Check out the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla_automated_testing Automated Testing Guide].
 
== Our Mission ==
 
The A-Team is a Swiss Army Knife of engineers dedicated to improving the quality and efficiency of engineering at Mozilla. Working with others in a responsive and agile manner, we strive to be a model of open development. We create, maintain, and extend a diverse array of sustainable tools and systems that create and deliver information on the quality of Mozilla's products and enhance the impact and effectiveness of the Mozilla community.
 
== Status ==
Our current list of projects and status on each is tracked at [[auto-tools/Projects|A-Team Project Central]], and we have a current list of our [[auto-tools/Goals|goals]] (per quarter).
 
We also use [https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#tools the tools newsgroup] for announcements and discussion. Address: tools __at __ lists __dot__ mozilla.org. See the archives at http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.tools/topics
 
We tweet about updates and such with the [https://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23mozauto #mozauto] hashtag.
 
And, of course, many of [[Auto-tools/The_Ateam|us]] have [http://planet.mozilla.org Planet] blogs.
[http://planet.mozilla.org/ateam/ See our planet!]
 
For paid employees, we have an [https://intranet.mozilla.org/Auto-tools Intranet] page for machine configurations, work-week coordiation, and other private information. Only add information to this page if it absolutely cannot be public, for legal, security, or other reasons.
 
== Want to Help? ==
Working on the testing, build, and automation systems at Mozilla is a fantastic introduction to Mozilla development.  There are two great ways to help - either by joining an existing project, or taking on one of our "starter" projects to help you learn your way around. 
* [http://ateam-bootcamp.rtfd.org A-team bootcamp] - This covers the basics of getting started as an A-Team contributor.
* [[auto-tools/Projects|Existing Project]] -- Look over our [[auto-tools/Projects|projects]] list and see if there is anything that you'd like to help with.
* [[auto-tools/Good_First_Bug|Good First Bug]] -- Just want a bug to try out?  Find a few [[auto-tools/Good_First_Bug|here]] and we can help you get started
* [[auto-tools/New_Contributor|New Contributor?]] -- Check out [[auto-tools/New_Contributor|this page]] for an overview of tools and resources to help you out with that first project.
* Check out the [[Auto-tools/New_Contributor/Skills_and_Areas|skills and areas]] of the team to see how you can fit in and help out.
If you have questions, or if you want to sign up, please come find us on [http://irc.mozilla.org IRC] in #ateam.
 
== Meetings ==
* We have a public, open [[auto-tools/Meetings|bi-weekly status meeting]] at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=3&day=29&year=2010&hour=10&min=0&sec=0&p1=224 10 AM  US Pacific Time] on Mondays.  If you want to help out or see what we're up to, please dial in.
* Once a year, we have in-person team meetups involving both MoCo employees and Mozillian contributors.
 
== Got an Idea? ==
If you have a problem, and you don't have time to solve it.  If you can find us, maybe you can "hire" the ateam.  Feel free to add a [[auto-tools/Projects#Proposed_Projects|Project Proposal]].
