The creation of shared modules is not as easy as creating tests, but it's more challenging because you really have to think in an abstract way. If you haven't written a shared module yet, please check our [http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/default/shared-modules/ existing shared modules]. Those can give you an insight how the code has to look like. | The creation of shared modules is not as easy as creating tests, but it's more challenging because you really have to think in an abstract way. If you haven't written a shared module yet, please check our [http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/default/shared-modules/ existing shared modules]. Those can give you an insight how the code has to look like. You should also obey the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill_Tests#Writing_Mozmill_Tests test writing guidelines]. | ||
While creating the shared module you should immediately check if the functions you have added are working as expected. Therefore you can create a helper test module under [http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/mozmill-tests/file/default/firefox/helperClasses firefox/helperClasses] with the same name as the shared module itself. The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill_Tests/Shared_Modules#How_to_use_a_Shared_Module shared module documentation] explains how to include the shared module into a test. | While creating the shared module you should immediately check if the functions you have added are working as expected.

Before the shared module can be checked-in a review is necessary. Therefore create a patch and ask for review. Details about that process can be found on [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozmill_Tests#The_Review_Process MDC]. | |||
