Welcome to the Seneca's Club Moz Test Day !

Thank you for participating in the Firefox test day. The
success of Firefox is heavily dependent on community
members like
you. We appreciate your support!!

This will be the first Seneca testday with Support from Mozilla QA.

On the testday on the 16th October will be testingFirefox Nightly Builds.

How you can help with this test day:

First join us in #testday on irc.mozilla.org. The choose one or more of the following things to do:

  • Run Basic Functional Tests (bft) of Full Functional Tests (fft) in 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.
  • Ad-hoc testing of features and bug filing: Check out the Firefox Nightly Builds by using as much of the features as you
    can. If you see an
    issue, raise it in #testday so people there can confirm it Then search
    for the bug in Bugzilla. If it's not on file, log the bug and again mention it in #testday so that it can be confirmed.
  • If you want to work in Bugzilla and triage some Bugs, you can help to triage Firefox:File Handling Bugs. Please see the current Query for some unconfirmed Bugs.

When you are done, please send feedback to testday@mozilla.org.
We are very interested to hear about how the test day went, any overall
thoughts about Firefox, and roll up of issues found and bugs
filed.
