QA/Infrastructure/Shadow Web Server

Overview

Lead:	Al Billings
Status:	Mozqa.com is up and running
Documentation:	TBD

Summary

The QA organization needs a web server to host test content and to act as a back end for various QA projects, such as the Mozilla Crowd extension and Continuous Integration.

The web server lives on mozqa.com and runs off of a virtual machine created by the Mozilla IT department and hosted at Rackspace.

Project Plan

Goal

• To have an apache web server in place hosting a mirror of all of the litmus-files HG repo content.
• To have CGI and PHP enabled to allow for testing of more complex scenarios than possible with simple HTML files.
• To have QA specific security certificates to support security testing not currently possible on Mozilla servers.
• To support new QA projects that require a web back end.
