 * {{bug|715788}} - A-GPS for Gonk, what kind of testing needed for this?
 * UI testing related to the Geolocation API - tbd - john Hammink, Matt Brandt
+* Comments from Kanru for A-GPS testing:
+** I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777983 for writing
+a Marionette test to test normal GPS on emulator. The emulator could
+inject fake locations so we could test the basic GPS functionality.
+But the A-GPS is a bit hard to test because it needs real hardware and
+server support, and when it fails the GPS engine usually fallback to
+normal GPS silently. Several ways to do automated test that I can think
+of are (1) extend the emulator to support A-GPS callbacks (2) monitor if
+the GPS engine is requesting data connection or not (3) use a fake/proxy
+A-GPS server
+To turn it on you have to add these prefs:
+  pref("geo.gps.supl_server", "supl.google.com");
+  pref("geo.gps.supl_port", 7276);
+  pref("geo.gps.apn.name", "internet");
+  pref("geo.gps.apn.user", "");
+  pref("geo.gps.apn.password", "");
+where the "geo.gps.apn.name" is the APN for data connection.
