Summary
The QA organization needs on demand resources for a variety of client testing with Firefox.
One goal is to be able to set up a client machine on demand with specific combinations of anti-virus software, firewall software, extensions, or plugins and run Firefox builds with the Mozmill Crowd extension.
Being able to provision multiple machines with unique configurations on demand will allow QA to test specific scenarios that are currently not tested.
