The project's work includes improving result visibility, test placement, stability, and coverage.

### Source excerpt

Hello from Platforms Operations! Once a month we highlight one of our projects to help the Mozilla community discover a useful tool or an interesting contribution opportunity. This month's project is firefox-ui-tests! What are firefox-ui-tests? Firefox UI tests are a test suite for integration tests which are based on the Marionette automation framework and are majorly used for user interface centric testing of Firefox. The difference to pure Marionette tests is, that Firefox UI tests are interacting with the chrome scope (browser interface) and not content scope (websites) by default.Continue readingFirefox-ui-tests - Platform Operations Project of the Month

### Source excerpt

As promised in my last blog posts I don't want to only blog about the goals from last quarters, but also about planned work and what's currently in progress. So this post will be the first one which will shed some light into my active work. First lets get started with my goals for this quarter. Execute firefox-ui-tests in TaskCluster Now that our tests are located in mozilla-central, mozilla-aurora, and mozilla-beta we want to see them run on a check-in basis including try. Usually you will setup Buildbot jobs toContinue readingFirefox Desktop automation goals Q1 2016

### AI overview

A Q4 2015 review of work to move Firefox UI tests into mozilla-central, run them with mozharness in mozmill-ci, fix failures and regressions, split the repository into packages, and improve related test tooling.

### Source excerpt

The last quarter of 2015 is gone and its time to reflect what happened in Q4. In the following you will find a full overview again for the whole quarter. It will be the last time that I will do that. From now on I will post in shorter intervals to specific topics instead of covering everything. This was actually a wish from our latest automation survey which I want to implement now. I hope you will like it. So during the last quarter my focus was completely on gettingContinue readingReview of automation work - Q4 2015

### Source excerpt

It's time for another Firefox Automation report! It's incredible how fast a quarter passes by without that I have time to write reports more often. Hopefully it will change soon - news will be posted in a follow-up blog post. Ok, so what happened last quarter for our projects. Mozharness One of my deliverables in Q3 was to create mozharness scripts for our various tests in the firefox-ui-tests repository, so that our custom runner scripts can be replaced. This gives us a way more stable system and additional features likeContinue readingFirefox Automation report - Q3 2015
