Mozmill is a UI testing tool for all Mozilla based applications.  Work began on the tool in summer of 2008, and it reached 1.0 in early 2009.  We are looking for people to develop new features for the tool and to fix bugs.  It is implemented as an Add-On, and is written primarily in JavaScript.

Project Details

 
Goals

• Make UI Automation a reality for all Mozilla applications
• Simplify automated test writing, primarily by simplifying the needed javascript skills to write a test
• Create a means to easily automate some number of our manual test cases in order to allow test teams to spend their time testing new features instead of rote manual cases.

Structure and Code
Mozmill has two primary running profiles.  It can either be run interactively through a UI that is accessed from the product under test, or it can be run via the command line.  In order to run from the command line, it uses a helper extension called JSBridge which forms a python to javascript bridge for easy integration into the Mozilla Build and Test infrastructure.  The code repository for both of these can be found here:

• jsbridge
• mozmill
