The purpose of Bughunter is to help detect bugs in mozilla software products and get them fixed. Bughunter includes a data collection/storage system for managing meta data associated with firefox site/unit test data and a comprehensive UI for analyzing that data. | The purpose of Bughunter is to help detect bugs in mozilla software products and get them fixed.

Bughunter data is separated into two top level categories: site data which includes testing firefox on specific URL's that generate crash reports and unit test data. There are three types of meta data in these two categories: crashes, assertions, and valgrinds. These data types are generated across a set of virtual machines that emulate a variety of different operating systems (MacOSX, Linux, Windows) and machine architectures in an effort to characterize a given bug's platform specific behavior. | Bughunter data is separated into two top level categories: site data which includes testing firefox on specific URL's that generate crash reports and unit test data.

URLs associated with site crash data found in the [[Socorro]] database are pulled into bughunter in an effort to reproduce and further characterize crash reports by collecting additional metadata on different platforms. | URLs associated with site crash data found in the [[Socorro]] database are pulled into bughunter in an effort to reproduce and further characterize crash reports by collecting additional metadata on different platforms. | ||
