B2G/QA
Overview
B2G (Boot 2 Gecko) is a new and exciting web platform that Mozilla is developing on mobile devices. The project will focus on the following:
- New web APIs: build prototype APIs for exposing device and OS capabilities to content (Telephony, SMS, Camera, USB, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.)
- Privilege model: making sure that these new capabilities are safely exposed to pages and applications
- Booting: prototype a low-level substrate for mobile devices (phones and tablets)
- Applications: choose and port or build apps to prove out and prioritize the power of the system.
Team Details
The B2G QA team is committed to qualifying the full spectrum of testing from backend (Gecko) to Frontend (Gaia). Test coverage will include a range of manual execution steps, automated test coverage, proper documentation, and community involvement projects.
