Testday – Mozmill, Firefox Sync, and Tab Candy – Friday, August 13th
August 13, 2010
Mozilla QA is having a test day this Friday, and we’ll be testing some of the new functionality that is expected to land before we ship Firefox 4.0 beta 4. Barring landing complications we should have Firefox Sync and Tab Candy ready to test in the nightlies by Friday.
Join us on IRC in the #testday channel. We’ll tell you where to get the builds we’re going to be testing, and we’ll post further instructions.
Beside any manual testing efforts for a recent Firefox 4.0 nightly build, this time we also want to cover automated testing. In addition to the upcoming release of Mozmill 1.4.2, we want to get as much as possible coverage by our testing community to make sure that results from automated Mozmill test-runs for Firefox are reliable and that no regressions have been introduced, compared to Mozmill 1.4.1.
To help testing you simply have to install Mozmill 1.4.2b3 as and add-on or as command line client. The test collection can be downloaded from
here or cloned from our HG repository. To run tests with the add-on, open a folder or a specific test file under ‘mozmill-tests/firefox/’. With the command line client specify the location with the ‘-t’ option. For more information see our documentation.
