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

Mozmill Tests now under the Mozilla QA product

By Admin

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

By Admin

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

Jsbridge 3.5.6 and Mozrunner 2.4.3 available

By Admin

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

Testday for creating Mozmill Tests for Add-ons

By Admin

Mozmill is not only able to execute functional and unit tests against applications, which are build on top of the Gecko platform, but can also be used to run those type of tests against extensions. If you are an extension author and interested to see your extension tested in a daily fashion by our automated test-runs in the QA-lab, you should definitely join the testday on Friday, May 28th. We really want to encourage you to think about the implementation of automated functional tests for your own extension. And it’sContinue readingTestday for creating Mozmill Tests for Add-ons
