Goals Overview 11/Q3

Automated Testing for WebApps

• Initial meeting with WebApp developers happened yesterday. Discussed roadmap of webapps and possible testing scenarios.

Team Presence (Documentation)

• Initial pages (brainstormed ideas) will be available for review soon at http://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Automation_Services

Cross-Framework Test Creation

• We have upgraded to Selenium 2.0.0 but discovered a bug with session handling. We can't replicate it locally, but are working with François Renaud (main contributor for Selenium Grid) and hope to have a fix soon.

Endurance Tests

• Micro-iterations have landed -- This allows tests to accumulate within an iteration. For example, the open new tabs tests can now open several tabs within an iteration instead of just one.

• First community created endurance test is in review and should land tonight! bug 670721
