We’ll be holding an all-day SUMO Questions day this Thursday, February 16th. It’s a great time to chip in and help Firefox users with common questions.

Our last session helped answer more than 80% of the new questions after the release of Firefox 10! Every little bit helps.

We’ll also be hanging out in the #sumo IRC channel if you want company or some help with helping.

Dear Web Apps Testers and Enthusiasts,

On February 17th, the Apps QA team will be hosting a test day for desktop and mobile devices to simulate an end-to-end customer scenario with the Web Apps product, determine what manual test cases pass and fail, verify fixed bugs, and exploratory test this product. The necessity to complete those tasks is important to determine whether our users can get through a known end-to-end customer scenario without errors, find new problems in the product, capture regressions in what was supposed to work, and verify that problems that were marked fixed do indeed work as expected. With a better understanding of the health of the product, our team can assess what currently does and does not work in this product.

What is the Web Apps product? A quote from Mozilla Labs Apps project best summarizes this product:

“The Mozilla Labs Apps project is an initiative by Mozilla, the non-profit Firefox developer and champion of the Web, to bring HTML 5 app experiences built using Web standards and open technologies to all your devices, wherever you are.”

Interested in this product and helping out? Then, you should join us on IRC on #testday. Upon helping out, you’ll gain great experience in finding bugs, running test cases, and more!

Everyone is welcome to participate. There’s no experience required. We’ll have moderators to answer any questions and guide you throughout the day.

If you want to get a head start check the test plan. Details will be posted there as they materialize.

If you aren’t available to help on Friday, email me or contact me (jsmith) on IRC on #qa.

Thanks in advance!

Update (02/09): Due to a change of events, we will be focusing on testing Aurora.

This upcoming Friday, we would love for you to solicit your support towards testing and contributing to the process of qualifying the new version of Firefox Aurora for Android on the Aurora channel as part of our Rapid Release testing cycle.

This event is open to all those interested: newcomers, experienced testers, experienced developers, and anyone interested in testing and using Firefox on Android.

We would like for you to use the new version of Firefox on your Android phone, and take a close look at the latest Aurora product in order to assist us in identifying any noticeably major issues found, and ensure that all feature functionality that is included in this upcoming release is on its way to a feature and testing complete state. We will also be looking at website compatibility, and device compatibility. No testing experience is required.

To cover the work throughout the whole day we have created an EtherPad test-plan. Please feel free to read and use it as a companion during the testday event. There will be moderators at hand in the IRC channel: #testday, to answer any questions you have.

Together with your help we want to make this testday a success and ensure the high quality of Firefox Aurora for mobile devices for all of our users world-wide. If you have time on Friday, February 10th, 2012, please join us on IRC, we will have Mozilla community and testers on hand to help answer any of your questions.

Your testing and feedback is highly valuable, and we hope to see you attend our testday event.
