Testing in Mozilla talk

Submitted by Ehsan Akhgari on November 30, 2008 - 21:00

I gave a talk on Mozilla Software testing approach as part of my Software Testing course.  You can find the slides (built using S5) here.  I introduced a number of tools that we use for automated and manual testing, and also gave an overview on parts of the process employed to use the tests in real life.

You can grab the slides.  I hope that they'll be useful to you.

Update: I made a mistake when writing this post, which caused the links not work.  I've fixed that, so now you can really see the slides. 

Update 2: I uploaded the presentation to the Mozilla Library, which is a collection of Mozilla-related presentations.  Thanks to Clint for pointing this out!

Hey eshan

Hey whats up again Eshan,

I'm been using plugins with FF and having some problems with the updates. I am not sure if they are testing it thoroughly or not because after an update is made sometime plugins just aren't working properly. Have you notice this in the software ff updates? It seems to be a problem like (Day of Update plugin doesn't work) then (Day after update plugin is working) i just don't know what to do should i just uninstall the entire FF and reinstall?

Thanks in advance,
Seth Owner of Vegas Blog

Re: Hey eshan

Thanks!

Great set of slides. Thanks for putting them up. We are building a cross-project repository for slides from people's mozilla talks. Would you mind uploading your slides there so that people can find them in the future? The site is at http://library.mozilla.org.

Thanks again. The slides are great.

still a broken link

I've reloaded, and on slide 13, in "Based on the _MochiKit_ framework", the link is inactive. Happens in both FF 3.1 nightly and Firefox 2.0.0.18. Weird, the HTML seems fine and Tools > Error Console reports no errors. However, I notice that I can't select the top few bullets (the selection jumps to the heading header), maybe that's why the href doesn't "take".

Thanks for the overview, I've always wondered about those acronyms and codenames!

Re: still a broken link

The link is correct HTML-wise.  I'm not sure what S5 does which makes clicking the links impossible.  Anyway, you can hit t to toggle to Notes view at worst case...
