Announcing Mobiletesters Mailing List

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 @ 17:41 by ctalbertMozQA Badge | (5) Comments

We are excited about the upcoming Fennec alpha release on Windows Mobile, and in order to have a forum to announce milestone testing opportunities (such as this one), we created the mobiletesters@mozilla.org mailing list.

In the mobile environment, there are several different operating systems, hundreds of different devices, and thousands of cellular networks across the globe.  The only way we can begin to test these complicated real-world scenarios is with your help.  We need you to check out our milestone releases, run them on your devices, and let us know what is working and what isn't.
