Target Audience

QMO serves as a portal for the Mozilla QA team and community. Both segments will use the site for their particular needs and interests:

Mozilla QA Team

  • Most of the team will be working on site content and functionality, as well as maintenance and monitoring. We plan to use QMO to:
    • Write articles and/or blog posts to keep the community updated on what we're working on and to ask for help with specific tasks.
    • Create new project pages for things we are working on, to track progress and provide the community a chance to learn more and get involved.
    • Promoting community events through the calendar and front page.
    • Moderating the forum discussions and comments.

Community

  • We have identified a few categories of users that will be visiting and using QMO regularly:
    • Average users and new Mozilla community members (looking to learn more about the Mozilla project and how they can get involved)
    • Nightly testers (established contributors that use nightly builds and are fairly active across the Mozilla project's many sites/channels)
    • User-based/Blackbox Testers (anyone that wants to help by testing Firefox, whether it is an official release or nightlies)
    • Bugzilla contributors (people that live and breath bugs by writing, reproducing, and resolving them through Bugzilla)
    • Tools and Automation developers (looking to do a bit of programming and building out the test infrastructure)
    • Data/Information Analysts (there will be people that are interested in combing through user feedback, crash data, and bug info to get a better understanding of the quality of our products)
