Join us as we demonstrate how Mozilla are using Selenium to test Firefox by extending the WebDriver specification.

Selenium is a popular tool for testing websites across multiple browsers, and when combined with Mozilla's implementation of the WebDriver specification, it becomes possible to interact directly with Firefox itself. In this session, we'll show a simple approach to writing tests using Selenium in Python, and then demonstrate how we're taking this further to replace our existing functional UI tests for Firefox. By using Selenium, we're hoping to make contributing to these tests much easier for our community, and by pushing the tools to their limits we'll also make them rock solid.

We care passionately about quality, and one of the ways we can improve quality is by writing automated tests. These run much faster and more frequently than we could possibly do so manually, and help us to catch regressions as soon as possible. Find out how we're writing automated tests for Firefox OS using tools built right into the browser, and how this is ultimately going to align with the new WebDriver specification. We'll demonstrate tests running against devices, and show you how easy it can be to get involved.
