MozBase documentation master file, created by + sphinx-quickstart on Mon Oct 22 14:02:17 2012. + You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least + contain the root `toctree` directive. + +mozbase +======= + +Mozbase is a set of easy-to-use Python packages forming a supplemental standard +library for Mozilla. It provides consistency and reduces redundancy in +automation and other system-level software. All of Mozilla's test harnesses use +mozbase to some degree, including Talos_, mochitest_, and reftest_. + +.. _Talos: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Talos + +.. _mochitest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mochitest + +.. _reftest: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Creating_reftest-based_unit_tests + +In the course of writing automated tests at Mozilla, we found that +the same tasks came up over and over, regardless of the specific nature of +what we were testing. We figured that consolidating this code into a set of +libraries would save us a good deal of time, and so we spent some effort +factoring out the best-of-breed automation code into something we named +"mozbase" (usually written all in lower case except at the beginning of a +sentence). + +This is the main documentation for users of mozbase. There is also a +project_ wiki page with notes on development practices and administration. + +.. _project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Mozbase + +The documentation is organized by category, then by module.
