New ‘in-qa-testsuite’ flag available for Mozilla QA driven test frameworks

Henrik Skupin

Given the importance of automation in QA the Automation Development team had a discussion lately how to improve tracking of QA covered automated testcases in Bugzilla. In the past we haven’t had a way to mark code in bugs for new features or regression fixes as being covered by Mozmill automation.

As we have agreed on it is important to scale our visibility and make it easier for both developers and QA to determine if a feature has automated tests, whether in the tree, in the Mozmill tests repository, or any other framework we would have to create in the future. A whiteboard entry didn’t make much sense for us, and to better align with the existent ‘in-testsuite’ flag, we decided on the ‘in-qa-testsuite‘ flag.

So if you think that a feature needs coverage by Mozmill, make sure to set this flag and assign myself (use “:whimboo” as name). I will then ensure the request will be handled appropriately and the test gets implemented.

Further documentation on automation frameworks and this flag will be available soon. I will blog about once it is ready.
