QA/Automation/Projects/Mozmill Automation/Environment/Requirements

Setting up the environment for Mozmill is not always an easy task, especially on Windows with all the dependencies for external tools, e.g. Python. To nearly eliminate the entry barrier for new members, but also to provide a package for our own automation tasks, a pre-configured environment will be made available. It contains all the tools, which are necessary to execute the Mozmill tests for Firefox.

General

There are some requirements, which apply to each of our supported platforms:

• The environment has to be shipped as a zip archive, which only has to be extracted on the target machine
• The environment does not modify the users system in any kind by installing applications in the global scope or modifying system settings
