New Firefox 3.7 branch for the mozmill-test repository

By Admin

A couple of minutes ago I have branched the mozmill-test repository for our upcoming Firefox 3.7 work. With that addition we can start to update our tests on the default branch to make them compatible with current Developer Preview releases and Minefield builds. That means we have the following correlations now: default => Firefox 3.7 mozilla1.9.2 => Firefox 3.6.x mozilla1.9.1 => Firefox 3.5.x More details about branch handling for our Mozmill tests can be found on MDC. The Mozmill test repository is available under the following two locations: http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/ http://github.com/whimboo/mozmill-tests

By Admin

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

Testday for Testscripting your Add-on with MozMill

By Admin

Mozmill, which is a framework for running functional tests, can be used for any application which is built on top of the Mozilla platform. This includes Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and many others. But it’s not only possible to test the application itself. Instead it can also be used to run any type of functional tests for installed add-ons. To stimulate add-on authors to create their own Mozmill tests, Mozilla QA is holding a testday on Friday, March 5th, which is fully devoted to Mozmill testscripting for your add-on. Learn howContinue readingTestday for Testscripting your Add-on with MozMill

Daily automated Mozmill test-runs in the QA Lab

By Admin

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

Mozmill 1.4 released

By Admin

The new version of Mozmill brings some under the hood changes to the Python back-end. The patch on Bug 533227 adds report support for restart tests which can push results to a couchdb instance now. With Mozmill 1.3 only normal Mozmill tests had that capability. Further we have improved the handling of Python callbacks from within Mozmill tests. While the former version of Mozmill has only supported those callbacks for restart tests, you can use them in normal tests (Bug 538058) now. The only restriction is that the test-run hasContinue readingMozmill 1.4 released

Automated Software Update tests with Mozmill

By Admin

Release testing which has to be done by QA right before a new release of Firefox will be offered to our users is still an area where lot of manual work is involved. That means we run Smoketests and the Basic Functional Tests (BFT’s) against the build candidate. As I have already written there is ongoing work with Mozmill to get those work fully automated in the future. But that are not the only tests we have to run… Since ever Firefox is supporting automatic updates we also have toContinue readingAutomated Software Update tests with Mozmill
