New daily Mozmill test-runs for Firefox

By Admin

For a long time, exactly since January 29th in 2010, the Mozilla QA team is running daily Mozmill tests to prove the functionality of Firefox and the update system across all supported platforms and release branches. With those tests we were able to find a couple of regressions, which then were fixed before the next release of Firefox. Given those results we have decided to extend our daily test-runs and not only run the functional and update tests, but also cover endurance tests, add-on tests, and the new remote tests.Continue readingNew daily Mozmill test-runs for Firefox

Mozmill Crowd 0.1.3 released

By Admin

QA Automation Services is happy to announce that Mozmill Crowd 0.1.3 has been released. With this minor release Mozmill Crowd now got its own branding for the extension itself, and on AMO. Thanks goes to Tara Shahian and her team for their support in creating the icon. We think it looks brilliant. What do you think? With the hiding of the menu bar on Windows we also had to introduce some more launch points for the extension. Now you can not only reach it via the Tools menu, but alsoContinue readingMozmill Crowd 0.1.3 released

Mozmill-tests for Firefox 3.5.x turned off

By Admin

As blogged by Release Engineering last week the Firefox 3.5 builds have been stopped. That means there are no more daily nightly builds available Mozilla QA will have to test with Mozmill. According to this action we also have turned off our daily test-runs for the latest Firefox 3.5.x builds on all platforms. At the same time the mozilla-1.9.1 branch of our mozmill-tests repository has been closed and as a good result, test failures which couldn’t be fixes due to limitations in Mozmill don’t exist anymore.

MozMill Crowd 0.1.2 released

By Admin

The Mozilla QA Automation team proudly presents the next version of the MozMill Crowd extension which has been released today. With Mozmill Crowd 0.1.2 we now support the Endurance Tests, which have been used a lot in the last couple of weeks to find memory leaks in Firefox. Now as part of the crowd extension, those tests are as easy to execute as all the other supported test-runs. Only if you would like to run those tests with a given set of add-ons installed, you will have to run theContinue readingMozMill Crowd 0.1.2 released

New Structure of the mozmill-tests Repository

By Admin

Since I have been started to work on Mozmill tests for Firefox early 2009, our QA Automation Team has been grown and got a lot of work done. A fair amount of functional tests have been created, followed by a separate test-run of automated software update tests. Those two kinds of tests have been proven to reduce the time for release testing for QA drastically, and as result we have added even more test-runs like for add-ons, l10n, and lately for endurance tests. As more and more different runs areContinue readingNew Structure of the mozmill-tests Repository

Mozmill 1.5.2 and changes for running Firefox tests

By Admin

As Clint Talbert has already written on Friday last week, Mozmill 1.5.2 has finally been released. A lot of great new stuff is now part of Mozmill core and we are happy to use it in our tests and automation scripts in the next couple of weeks. The following changes will have to be made: With the nearly complete refactoring of the Mozmill Python modules our Mozmill wrapper used by the automation scripts is no longer necessary and needs to be removed. For me it means I have to completeContinue readingMozmill 1.5.2 and changes for running Firefox tests

Mozmill Crowd talk at FOSDEM 2011

By Admin

A week ago I had the pleasure to attend the FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting) in Brussels. As every year Mozilla has been setup its own booth and also got assigned an own developer room for talks. I have used this opportunity to spread the word about our crowd-testing initiative with Mozmill Crowd. Thanks to the committee my talk also got approved and I was able to demonstrate our latest activities in-front of a couple of people. If you weren’t able to attend, you can checkContinue readingMozmill Crowd talk at FOSDEM 2011

Mozmill-Crowd 0.1.1 Release

By Admin

After talking to one of my colleagues at Mozilla, we have decided to push another minor release of the Mozmill-Crowd extension as soon as possible. The main task was to improve the user experience when using the extension. The following fixes have been incorporated: Save the screenshots which are automatically taken by the l10n test-run into the screenshots folder of the extension storage. That allows you to access those a way easier, compared to before when you had to locate those first in the temporary folder. Disable the slow scriptContinue readingMozmill-Crowd 0.1.1 Release

1-Click Firefox functional testing with Mozmill-Crowd

By Admin

Firefox 4, the next major version of Mozilla’s web browser, will include hundreds of new features and enhancements. A lot of those will happen in the background and will primarily not be visible at the front-end. A very good example for such a feature is the support for graphics hardware acceleration. It will drastically improve the rendering of pages, videos, or the Firefox UI itself. But noticeable it is only because it is that fast. Alongside those back-end features, also the Firefox UI has been vastly changed. Mainly you willContinue reading1-Click Firefox functional testing with Mozmill-Crowd
