Double-check to disable Firefox Sync when doing a regression test to not loose important profile data

By Admin

Yesterday I was doing a regression test for Firefox to determine the changeset which brought in a very annoying behavior into Aurora builds. Therefore I copied my profile to not destroy my original profile data, and was working on that copy. All was working fine and I was able to reduce the whole profile to only the sessionstore.js and prefs.js files. The evil awakening came today morning when I tried to log into a website via my personal profile. By surprise the user name and password hasn’t been filled inContinue readingDouble-check to disable Firefox Sync when doing a regression test to not loose important profile data

New ‘in-qa-testsuite’ flag available for Mozilla QA driven test frameworks

By Admin

Given the importance of automation in QA the Automation Development team had a discussion lately how to improve tracking of QA covered automated testcases in Bugzilla. In the past we haven’t had a way to mark code in bugs for new features or regression fixes as being covered by Mozmill automation. As we have agreed on it is important to scale our visibility and make it easier for both developers and QA to determine if a feature has automated tests, whether in the tree, in the Mozmill tests repository, orContinue readingNew ‘in-qa-testsuite’ flag available for Mozilla QA driven test frameworks

MemChaser 0.2 released

By Admin

Exactly one month after we have released our initial version of MemChaser, version 0.2 has been made publicly available. You can install the add-on as usual from addons.mozilla.org or if it is already installed, simply check for updates within the Add-ons Manager. A couple of subtle changes have been made which will give a better experience for users. So we have combined the formerly two widgets in the Add-on bar into a single one to prevent other extensions from inserting their widgets in-between. At the same time the width hasContinue readingMemChaser 0.2 released

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

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

Testday: Exploratory testing the new Add-ons Manager

By Admin

As you have probably already read about in a couple of blog post from Jennifer Boriss, Dave Townsend, and Blair McBride, the next major version of Firefox will contain a shiny new Add-ons Manager. If you wanna know more details, you should check out the design documents. 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

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

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
