In The Ongoing Revolution in Software Testing (pdf), Cem Kaner defines testing as

[...] a technical investigation of a product, done to expose quality-related information.

This page is a starting point to find, learn about, and track technical investigations of the Mozilla codebase.

Please note: this catalog is not limited to investigations done by members of the Mozilla qa team and community.

Projects

Testing in General

Dave Liebreich is interested in creating running code to test the mozilla codebase. Not just end-to-end automated tests, but unit tests, module tests, test harnesses, test reporting infrastructure, and anything else that lowers the barrier to creating new code that gives someone feedback.

Dave is also interested in extending and improving the existing testing process. The information received from community testing efforts can be excellent and invaluable; Dave is looking for ways in which existing volunteers can improve their testing skill and skilled testers can join the effort.

Dave needs help. The codebase is huge. The community is huge. The task is huge.
