• Mochitest is an automated testing framework built on top of the MochiKit JavaScript libraries. It’s just one of the automated regression testing frameworks used by Mozilla. Tests report success or failure to the test harness using JavaScript function calls.
• Run Mochitest uaing command:
  • Build firefox using: ./mach build
  • Then run : ./mach mochitest

What did I learn?

• The most important- Mercurial, I was very much impress with push-to-try.
• Lot about browser toolbox and Inspector and developer tools.
• How to run Mochitest on Firefox?- lot about testing in Firefox browser.
• Writing clean code, so that it can match developers standard!
• Building Firefox without Visual studio!
