The MozQA community is holding a Testday on Friday, November 13th, for users interested in the use, development and/or testing of Fennec! We're going to have jmaher, the lead tester for Fennec available to help users test the new project, learn how to report out the results of the tests and just generally chat about the project with the community via IRC Chat (channel #testday on irc://irc.mozilla.org). So, if you're interested, come on by anytime between 7AM to 5PM PDT that Friday!

How do I get ready?

1. Download Fennec for any available Desktop/Mobile Platform:

Download a nightly build for the desktop and/or mobile device

  • for Windows Mobile Devices: Download a .cab file
  • for Linux-Maemo Devices: Download xulrunner.deb and fennec.deb
  • for Desktop Builds: download .zip/.tar.gz and unzip

2. Come into our Testday IRC channel.

3. Start Testing!

 


This is what we're doing...

The Testday is going to be all about hacking and slashing the latest Fennec nightly build on panning/zooming over all available mobile/desktop platforms! Here's some of the things we're planning on doing throughout the day:

  • Test Fennec by browsing various websites that you do on a daily basis
  • Use the brand new interface and give feedback on what works and how usable it is
  • Learn about ways to help out in future releases
  • Tell the Fennec team what you think about your experience.
  • For any bugs filed at this testday, add "[fennecb5testday]" to the bug's whiteboard. If you're unsure what that means, ask a moderator in the channel.
