Starting today the Mozilla QA lab has it’s own automated Mozmill test-run in place which gets executed once a day.

The main goal for us is to shorten the test duration for manual functional tests so those tests will be run more often. There are Smoketests, BFT’s [...]

In the last weeks we discovered a couple of changes in the upcoming 1.9.2 code base which forced us to branch our mozmill-test repository.
