Developer Tests and the Mozilla Codebase

Are you a developer writing code-facing tests in the Mozilla Codebase? If so, please let me know. I’m looking for ways to make it easier and/or quicker to write such tests, and would love to learn about how others have addressed this issue.

I’m keeping a list of tests I find in the codebase, and I’m working on a jssh-based remote control library for use in other test harnesses. Please feel free to add to it.

    I’m currently working on something similar to Selenium but targeted at xul applications rather than websites. My thought was to possibly use jssh to make automated testing (ie. start app, test, close app) easier. You can catch me on moz irc if you’re interested.

    Cool. I’ll try to ping you there. In the meantime, can you point me to more info about your thoughts?

    Haven’t got anything posted anywhere public yet. The current state is that I have a working event recorder/playback system, and a unittest system (that I am rewriting today). Then I will have to integrate the two.
