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

Mozmill status and goals for 2009

By Admin

As a couple of you already know Mozilla QA runs its own set of automated functional tests which are separated from the tests in the automated test suite. 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 (basic functional tests), and FFT (full functional tests) available on Litmus which get partly run by QA during release testing or at any time by contributors. Given the fact that all those tests need aContinue readingMozmill status and goals for 2009

“Mozmill meets L10n” slides available

By Admin

Over the last weekend Mozilla Camp Europe 2009 has been taken place in Prague. About 150 people from l10n, qa, dev, and advocacy were invited to join this conference which Mozilla Europe is organizing each year. Given my project to get manual Litmus tests automated with Mozmill I have prepared some slides with a special focus on l10n. But sadly I wasn’t able to join the conference because of sickness. I have to say a big thanks to my colleague Marcia Knous and also to one of our main contributorsContinue reading“Mozmill meets L10n” slides available

Mozmill-test repository branched for Firefox 3.5

By Admin

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. At first we weren’t sure if we should create separate repositories for the 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 branches or handle everything through multiple heads in the same repository. We made the decision to use the first way (see bug 509290) which finally ended up as the wrong way due to some limitations of hgweb. Means we had to revert all the changes and are now using namedContinue readingMozmill-test repository branched for Firefox 3.5
