April 18th, 2008 Test Day: Help us to test the Firefox Nightly Trunk Build !
Carsten Book
It's time to test the Firefox Nightly Trunk Build in preparation of the
Firefox 3 RC1!
Join us Friday, April 18th, 2008 in #testday on IRC from 7am - 5pm PDT.
Here is how you can help us:
We are on the road to Firefox 3 RC1, so there is plenty to test! If you
want to test your your favorite Firefox Feature like the awesomebar, the
new Places feature, the new Download Manager, great! But you can also
run some more tests in Litmus (http://litmus.mozilla.org) and try out
the Nightly Build and the other great new Firefox improvements !
How to prepare for Test Day:
* Download a Firefox Nightly Build
* Save your profile data! You should either back up your profile or use
the profile manager to create a new profile for testing.
* Get the new Mozilla QA Companion! It's the easiest way to run test
cases, search for bugs, and get connected on IRC... so it's the perfect
tool for Test Days!
Getting started on Test Day:
First 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.
Then choose one or more of the following things to do:
* Run various test cases 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.
* When you have time and interest in writing testcases, please ping
Marcia and/or Tomcat in the #testday channel. We have also a short
documentation how to write testcases for litmus.
