This project involves reading and writing code in both Python and Javascript. Mozmill is one of Mozilla’s older automated testing frameworks; tests written in Mozmill are being ported to Marionette, which is an implementation of the Webdriver standard, capable of interacting with both web content and browser UI.
Applicants should have a strong knowledge of Python and at least some exposure to Javascript. The starting point (and main focus) for this project will be the work outlined in Bug 1132680; there is other work in the same area that can be done if that bug gets finished early.

* On the client side this will involve JavaScript and Websocket management.
===Test-driven Refactoring of Marionette's Python Test Runner [no longer taking applicants]===
* Mentor: [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/maja_zf/ Maja Frydrychowicz]
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette Marionette's] Python Test Runner is slated to become the canonical harness for running most new automated tests for Firefox, but it needs to be lovingly cleaned up and stabilized first. We've already started this work and we're excited to have you help us continue.

===Add robust AMI management to the TaskCluster AWS Provisioner [No longer taking applications]===
* Mentor: [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/dustin/ Dustin J. Mitchell]
TaskCluster (https://tools.taskcluster.net) is a distributed task execution system Mozilla uses to build, test, and release Firefox. The AWS provisioner is the component responsible for managing the AWS EC2 instances that execute tasks. The project is to improve its management of AMIs, making them easier to create, deploy, and clean up.
Everything we do is open-source, and we love to see open-source contributions, so improve your chances with a link to your github account or highlight a pull request you are proud of. We would also love to see code (in any language) to talk to an HTTP API (for example, the Github API). Contributing to one of the projects under https://github.com/taskcluster will send your application to the top of the pile!"

# Set up a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla] account and a [https://mozillians.org Mozillians] profile. Please include your IRC nickname in both of these accounts so mentors can work with you more easily. For example, Eve Smith would set their Bugzilla name to "Eve Smith (:esmith)", where esmith is their IRC nick.
# Please look at the projects below, consider your options, and chat with Mozilla mentors on IRC. You need to make a small contribution to the area you wish to apply for.
#* To chat with Mozilla mentors, join the #outreachy channel on '''irc.mozilla.org'''.
