Tests that Need to Be Written
There are hundreds of bugs in our backlog that need automated test cases urgently. Please feel free to jump right in and start writing test cases for them. We've prioritized our highest priority bugs into hot lists for each area of the Mozilla platform:
- Content Testing - tests for the interfaces exposed to web authors
- Layout Testing - tests for the way we render web pages
- Graphics Testing - tests for our graphics drawing subsystem
- Javascript Testing - tests for our Javascript engine
- General Tests - tests for areas of the platform outside of these broad divisions
Mobile
Help us with Fennec by creating tests for specific Fennec features:
- Mobile Browser Tests
- QA Companion (add-on) for mobile specific testing and feedback
Firefox Front End
- Create performance testing frameworks to help us measure the user responsiveness of various actions using Mozmill:
- How long does it take to open the 100th tab compared to opening the same site as the only tab
- How long does it take for the awesome bar to show a bookmarked result if you have 1000 entries in your places database? 10,000 entries in the database?
- How long does it take if the result you search for is not bookmarked?
- etc...
- Help automate manual Litmus test cases using Mozmill.
- Current tracking spreadsheet for automation.
Test Suite Integration

- Scriptaculous bug 424816
- Dojo bug 424818
- Yahoo UI bug 424819
- Selenium bug 424820
