Mozmill Tests now under the Mozilla QA product

After some discussion last week how to track bugs of the different projects inside Mozilla QA we came to the conclusion that a new product on Bugzilla is necessary. Similar to other groups at Mozilla, QA would also benefit from it when having all their projects under one single umbrella, instead of in dozen different components. Finally we came up with the “Mozilla QA” product. By today the new “Mozilla QA” product has been created on Bugzilla under the Others section. At the same time 5 components have been created,Continue readingMozmill Tests now under the Mozilla QA product

Mozmill Crowd Talk at Selenium Meetup #3 in London

Already two weeks ago, on November 3rd, the Selenium meetup #3 of the London Selenium user group has been taken place. Organized by Dave Hunt, we had 2.5h of interesting talks and discussions at the Google office in London. The overall topic for this evening was how Mozilla is using Selenium and other tools to ensure the quality of their products. Therefore I have been asked to do a presentation about our client-side ui testing framework Mozmill. I was pleased to do so, because I thought that not that manyContinue readingMozmill Crowd Talk at Selenium Meetup #3 in London

Results of the second Add-ons Manager testday

Last Friday, June the 11th, we had our second testday for exploratory testing the new Add-ons Manager. It was again well attended and we had a couple of fantastic discussions across its whole duration. If you weren’t able to attend but interested in details about the discussions, you can read through the chat transcription which lists any specific detail. Given our last testday end of April, I have continued my idea to see the testday covering more than only the PDT timezone. That means this time it has also beenContinue readingResults of the second Add-ons Manager testday

Jsbridge 3.5.6 and Mozrunner 2.4.3 available

Within the last two weeks we had to push two maintenance releases for jsbridge and mozrunner which now fix two major issues: Bug 570790: Due to a broken pyPI package of jsbridge the extension wasn’t working properly on all platforms. At least on Windows the files which have been accidentally added to the tar.gz file, caused an error when loading files from the components and chrome folder of the extension. We have removed all those instances to make sure the extension will work again. Bug 568839: Installing binary extensions withContinue readingJsbridge 3.5.6 and Mozrunner 2.4.3 available

Even with the development for this feature still in progress, Mozilla QA will hold a testday for exploratory testing the new user interface on Friday, April 30th. For this time we will not use any Litmus test but running tests based on theContinue readingTestday: Exploratory testing the new Add-ons Manager

Mozmill 1.4.1 released

Today Mozilla proudly presents the next bug fix release for Mozmill. A couple of improvements have been made into this release. The most important part is definitely the support of Firefox 3.7, which allows us to run Mozmill tests against Minefield builds in the near future. But we also support Open Solaris now and offer a much easier way to setup Mozmill on Windows. There is no dependency for pywin32 anymore. And with all the other fixes we really have a shiny new release. A list of fixes, which haveContinue readingMozmill 1.4.1 released

Daily automated Mozmill test-runs in the QA Lab

Starting today the Mozilla QA lab has it’s own automated Mozmill test-run in place which gets executed once a day. That means I do not have to run those tests manually anymore and we also have public available results which will give us more exposure regarding failed tests. Really, it’s a great step forward for us. But lets talk in-detail about the progress… During the last All Hands week in December 2009 I had to hold a presentation in one of our QA group meetings about the current state ofContinue readingDaily automated Mozmill test-runs in the QA Lab
