The Mozilla QA team has a large and vibrant community around the world that is deeply involved in our day-to-day activities. Our contributors take an early look at our products, explore new features, file bugs, triage existing bugs, write and execute test cases, automate tests, and provide valuable feedback from a usability perspective. Our most actively engaged contributors take leadership of some of our products or features.

Get Started
Across the different teams that make up the larger QA team, there are some common tools.
- Community members can help us by visiting this site.
- Help us test the Firefox Nightly product. You can follow some of what is happening here.
- We report bugs using our home-grown bug tracking system Bugzilla. You will need to create an account with Bugzilla in order to file bugs and triage them. Learn how to file bugs and triage them.
- Our test cases now reside in a repository called Testrail.
- Our automation test scripts developed in Python and JavaScript. They are housed in a git repository. You will need a Github account to execute the automated test suites, modify existing scripts, and write new ones. Learn Python, Javascript and get started with automation.
- Community members can get up to speed with our documentation that are on Mozilla Developer Network (MDN).
- Community members can test product features before they are publicly released by participating in test days. You will need to get familiar with IRC, a group chat tool.
Besides these tools, each functional area within Mozilla may require its own set of special tools that you may need to become familiar with.
