Mozilla QA Companion 1.0 Released
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5428
Fresh new QA Companion. This version has a revamped design of the
former QAC, with functionality for running manual tests, reporting
bugs, and viewing the latest QMO news. 1.0 is a vast improvement over
0.2.3!
Download the latest version here at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5428
So what is the Mozilla QA Companion (QAC)?
The Mozilla QA Companion (QAC) is a new tool that was created after
discussions between the QA team and community about how to make it
easier for anyone to get involved with the Mozilla project and help us
test Firefox.
The QAC is meant to be an easy way to get community members involved
in the QA process. It pulls testcases from Litmus and provides a
response form, all within the QAC interface. The QAC also includes
notifications for important QA events such as Bug Days, and keeps
users up-to-date with live feeds from the QMO site and forums.
Features
* General QMO tab — updates on news, forums, etc.
* ‘Run Tests’ tab — This is the heart of the extension. It allows
users to get testcases to run and to submit results from within the
extension. QAC will detect most system settings and helps new users
set up a Litmus account if they don’t have one already.
* ‘File Bug’ tab – File bugs by submitting a report!
* Settings/Help (Preferences) — This is for the confused or
misconfigured.
Installation
You can install the QA Companion like any other Firefox add-on by
visiting https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5428
Getting involved with testing and development
* Install Mozilla QA Companion 1.0
* Run test cases through QAC by interacting with Litmus
* Submit bug reports to Bugzilla through issues you find in
testcases.
* Join us in #qa on irc.mozilla.org

Can you specify how can people file bugs against QAC as they find them?

happen. If you ever checked out the QA Companion and were disappointed,
I encourage you to download the latest version and try it out.
They've gone to great lengths to improve the design, the functionality
and the user experience to make a great tool to help people run tests
and file bugs.
We'd love to hear your feedback on the tool as well - either in this
forum or as reviews up on AMO.
Congratulations to Heather and Aaron!
Thanks,
Clint

Is there a way to report a bug number in the result? In the Litmus
web interface there is a field to report bug numbers. When we vet
results any bug numbers reported link back to bugzilla. This is
extremely handy both for the vetting process and for making sure
reported bugs get better visibility.
Cheers,
Anthony

I think this is a pretty critical piece of information when looking through Litmus results. I can certainly understand the concern of clutter but adding a textbox would only increase the height of the window by ~20px.
For the sake of clutter reduction, perhaps adding bug number to the result could be automated. For example, if a user finds their bug in the bug list, perhaps we could flag it to be added to the result; or if they file a new bug, add that bug number to the result.
Cheers,

I have already asked the same question. It has been removed due to
simplicity of the UI. I would think that we should have a novice and
expert UI so we can also use it for our testings with all the options
available.
