Automated tests for the ReMo website, reps-dev.allizom.org. Thank you for checking out Mozilla's ReMo test suite. Mozilla and the WebQA team are grateful for the help and hard work of many contributors like yourself. The following contributors have submitted pull requests to the ReMo-Tests project:

We love working with contributors to fill out the Selenium test coverage for ReMo-Tests, but it does require a few skills. You will need to know some Python, some Selenium and you will need some basic familiarity with Github.

If you know some Python, it's worth having a look at the Selenium framework to understand the basic concepts of browser based testing and especially page objects. Our suite uses Selenium WebDriver.

If you need to brush up on programming but are eager to start contributing immediately, please consider helping us find bugs in Mozilla Firefox or find bugs in the Mozilla web-sites tested by the WebQA team.

To brush up on Python skills before engaging with us, Dive Into Python is an excellent resource. MIT also has lecture notes on Python available through their open courseware.The programming concepts you will need to know include functions, working with classes, and some object oriented programming basics.

While we take pains to keep our documentation updated, the best source of information is those of us who work on the project. Don't be afraid to join us in irc.mozilla.org #mozwebqa to ask questions about our Selenium tests. Mozilla also hosts the #mozillians chat room to answer your general questions about contributing to Mozilla.

Mozilla maintains a guide to running Automated tests on our QMO website:

https://quality.mozilla.org/docs/webqa/running-webqa-automated-tests/

This wiki page has some advanced instructions specific to Windows:

Before you will be able to run these tests, you will need to have Python 2.6 installed.

Run

easy_install pip

followed by

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

note

If you are running on Ubuntu/Debian, you will need to do following first:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

to install the required Python libraries.

To run tests locally, it's a simple case of calling the command below from this directory

py.test --driver=firefox

For more command line options, see https://github.com/davehunt/pytest-mozwebqa

If you want to get involved and add more tests, there are just a few things we'd like to ask you to do:

1. Use the template files for all new tests and page objects
2. Follow our simple style guide
3. Fork this project with your own GitHub account
4. Make sure all tests are passing, and submit a pull request with your changes

Submit your pull request to us via GitHub, marking it with a reference to the Git issue or MozTrap test case to give us context to the code.

You can find us and other Mozillians that can help out in #mozwebqa on the irc.mozilla.org network. We work primarily across PST and EU timezones. Feel free to contact us with any queries you may have. We're here to help with problems of any nature.
