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*
