Merge Compatibility Testing

Introduction

The fast release cycle has proven to be challenging to access platform and web compatibility from release to release. Regressions are more likely to occur undetected than in the prior longer release model prior to shipping Firefox 5. To get a better assessment of Firefox compatibility, QA in conjunction with outsourced testing partners have been building up experience and expertise in conducting both web and platform compatibility test runs.

Objective

The objecting of the Merge Compatibility Project is to perform a comprehensive set of regression tests to for both web and platform compatibility across the Firefox release channels.
