QA/Automation/Projects/WebRTC

Overview

"WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose."

To ensure that the code quality of WebRTC in Firefox is in an overall good shape, automated tests have to be written. Those tests will be executed by the Mochitest framework on a per check-in basis.

Details

The code of WebRTC is still in an early state as the standards around WebRTC are not finalized yet. The WebRTC code and its tests are part of the official Firefox build since version 22. So all the relevant code can be found in mozilla-central. To execute the WebRTC tests you can either

• Build Firefox yourself
• Download the latest nightly build and tests

Build Firefox

1. To build your own version of Firefox, setup the build system by following the steps outlined on the MDN page 'Simple Firefox build'.

2. Execute the WebRTC mochitests

   $ ./mach mochitest-plain dom/media/test/mochitest/

Download Firefox and tests

1. Download the latest Firefox nightly build for your platform plus the matching *.tests.zip file from Firefox Nightly Latest
