TestEngineering/Services

Overview

Mozilla Services is the branch of mozilla where Client products meet Server interaction. Services can be expanding into any products that can utilize modular and scalable API's, to provide web developers the flexibility on creating products within the server-client interaction. Current products like Sync and Identity, make up the beginnings of existing products that drive this offering.

Mission

Building private, secure, user controlled cloud services that bring user delight and utility in a multi-screen world.

Team Details

The Services QA team is committed to qualifying products and releases through client-server testing. Consisting of Client and server product testers, we also plan to diverge into performance and load testing in staging and production environments.

Weekly Trains and Releases

Each week, or for each scheduled release, QA receives a new build for testing in the Beta (BrowserID). The Dev teams write, test, and release the build to the OPs team. The OPs team is responsible for deploying the build to the Beta or Stage environment. Once the new build is deployed, the QA team verifies the deployment, then completes all required testing and signs-off on the results. Once this process has completed, the OPs team is cleared to deploy the build to production.

Environments

Services projects use a handful of environments to get their work done. Generally, it's broken down by:

• Development Sandbox
• Staging
• Beta (Q3 goal)
• Production

A handful of environments are listed here. However, many of them require Mozilla Internal access and VPN, so if you are part of a special project, please see the QA staff for more info.

Community Contribution

We're piloting a program for contributors looking for a deeper connection to cloud services development. We'd as you commit 5 hrs a week for 3 months. In that, you will learn and grow your own skills in writing test cases, testing new features, and helping deploy a web service. Please email edwong at mozilla dot com or jump on IRC #Identity or #Services-dev if you're interested.

Anyone can participate. There are several ways in which YOU can participate:

• File bugs
• Triage bugs (confirm existing bugs and assign them to the right buckets)
• Help test new features
• Write test cases
• Plan new features testing
• Help others who want to get involved.
