• Tests for XUL Error Pages - see bug 529119 for ideas
• Content Testing - tests for the interfaces exposed to web authors
• Layout Testing - tests for the way we render web pages

• Javascript Testing - tests for our Javascript engine
• General Tests - tests for areas of the platform outside of these broad divisions
