Online retail sites)

Preparing for Test Day

use the profile manager to create a new profile for testing.

test cases, search for bugs, and get connected on IRC... so it's the
perfect tool for Test Days!
Contributing to Test Day
1. Join us in #testday on irc.mozilla.org so you can chat with the
Mozilla QA team and community. There are always people in the channel to
meet, work with, and get help from.
2. Choose one or more of the following things to do:
* Run testcases on Litmus! Ask for help in the #testday channel if
you're not familiar with Litmus. If a testcase is terribly unclear, mark
it as such. When you have questions about using Litmus, please ask the
moderators in the testday channel or see the Litmus tutorial.
* Verify Fixed Bugs! We are in dire need of keeping up with the bug
fixed rate. You can help by going through the bugs listed below and
confirming if they truly are fixed or needs reopening.
