The Internet is not the same as you used it 5 years ago. The rise of Web Properties, Mobile, and Cloud services has changed how we use the Web today. Come and listen to how Mozilla is approaching the new Internet World, and get an overview how we Test the products build for it. High level overview of the QA process, as well as opportunities how you can get involved with testing.
33. #4: Desktop Browsing
• Despite slowing growth on PC usage, still the top way to access
internet
• Users still averaging ~7.7 hours a day usage*
• In Southeast Asia, average 14-25 hours a week (source:
Nielsen Wire, Nov 2011)*
• Users still spend 1/3 of time online using Email, Search, Social,
Gaming, and video

my name is Tony Chung, and i'm a QA manager at Mozilla. I've been a mozilla employee for 5 years, starting with the day that Firefox 2.0 shipped. \n\nWe're here primarily to Pursue Quality, push for user voice, and ship quality products. \n\nI've titled this talk Testing in the Internet Era, because we are no longer one firefox product for Desktop product anymore. Mitchell gave us a preview in her keynote this morning on what this new Internet Era is, and we'll focus the next 30 minutes on what those are, and how our Quality approach is like. \n

The internet is still widely associated with using your computer. Desktop Applications and storage are moving to the cloud, and less of us are carrying around disks and USB drives around. \n\nHardware support for faster processors, more memory, Bettery battery, Large screensizes, built in networking, hardware acceleration support, complements performance on powerful web content usage\n\n“Nielsen’s new Southeast Asia Digital Consumer Report examined the digital media habits and attitudes of consumers in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Singaporeans led the region in online usage, spending more than a day (25 hours) online each week, while Filipinos and Malaysians came close behind, spending 21.5 hours and 19.8 hours a week online, respectively. Indonesians trailed the region, spending an average of 14 hours per week.”\nSource: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/global/surging-internet-usage-in-southeast-asia-reshaping-the-media-landscape/\n

Marketshare dipped, but still about 22% in the US. \n\nInvesting heavily into HTML5, we believe JS, HTML, and CSS creates optimal and open web development. \n- And many browsers are adopting that too\n\n- in 2010, we realized we needed to move faster. Thus, 6 week cycles began, on Nightly, Aurora, and Beta channels\n\n- Many improvements landed, but so did headaches. \n** Extensions broke, update fatigue\n

The general idea of the “cloud” is to store your media on the internet so you can access it from any device anywhere, as opposed to leaving it on a hard drive. Now with cloud services, we can juggle around our data between multiple gadgets.\n\nCloud computing is a marketing term for technologies that provide computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. \nCloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on Internet protocols, and it typically involves provisioning of dynamically scalable and often virtualised resources\nCloud computing providers deliver applications via the internet, which are accessed from web browsers and desktop and mobile apps, while the business software and data are stored on servers at a remote location. In some cases, legacy applications (line of business applications that until now have been prevalent in thin client Windows computing) are delivered via a screen-sharing technology, while the computing resources are consolidated at a remote data center location; in other cases, entire business applications have been coded using web-based technologies such as AJAX.\n\nGoogle - Cloud storage, App Engine\nAmazon, Apple, Sync, itunes (store your video and photos), purchase your store\n
\n* We’ve heavily invested in Sync for 2 years now. Setting bookmarks and history up once, then leaving it in the backgound, and using your other machines or phone to retrieve data has been a automatic\n\n* Secure: \nMobile and Desktop complete the two roundtrips of J-PAKE messages to agree upon a strong secret K\nA 256 bit key is derived from K using HMAC-SHA256 using a fixed extraction key.\nThe encryption and HMAC keys are derived from that 256 bit key using HMAC-SHA256.\nKey Derivation: The AES encryption key T(1) and the HMAC key T(2) will be derived from J-PAKE's strong secret K as follows:\nSagrada - As we build more services at Mozilla, we will be able to identify further shared functionality and look to make a new components, but the ones we are choosing to focus on initially are:\n\nSauropod is a secure storage system for user data. It employs end-to-end encryption and secure key storage to enable least-privilege access, fine-grain user permissioning, and a controlled and auditable process for administrative and automated data access. \n- key-value storage API, where each user has a completely independent universe of keys.\n\n\nSagrada link: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Sagrada\n
BrowserID providing single sign on capability to the browser, targeting smaller websites\n* dont have to cave into big bad hairy facebook and google to worry about sharing data\n* APIs make it easy to authentic on your email address only, and establish the handshake\n\nPlans for a beta program provides shared APIs to service app hackers to put smaller projects into an extension and throw them into a train, with low obligations but a release test model.\n

Web developers are expressing interest in an app store model for the Web that would enable them to get paid for their efforts without having to abandon Web development in exchange for proprietary silos, each with their own programming language and SDK, variable and sometimes opaque review processes, and limited reach.\nSupporting the needs of Web developers in their efforts to develop websites and apps that aren’t bound to a specific browser and work across the Web is core to Mozilla’s public benefit mission.\nAnd so we’ve been actively exploring what an Open Web App Store would need to look like to ensure the long-term health and vitality of the Web as an incredibly open and accessible platform for innovation.\nWhat does it mean to be an Open Web App Store? As a starting point, we are proposing a set of high-level principles.\nAn Open Web App Store should:\nexclusively host web applications based upon HTML5, CSS, Javascript and other widely-implemented open standards in modern web browsers — to avoid interoperability, portability and lock-in issues\nensure that discovery, distribution and fulfillment works across all modern browsers, wherever they run (including on mobile devices)\nset forth editorial, security and quality review guidelines and processes that are transparent and provide for a level playing field\nrespect individual privacy by not profiling and tracking individual user behavior beyond what’s strictly necessary for distribution and fulfillment\nbe open and accessible to all app producers and app consumers\n\n

Last summit theme was Be Mobile. \n\n2008, Started with Nokia Maemo platform, tried out Win mo, killed winmo, back to Nokia, and now Android. \n\nB2G - stripped down to android kernal\n\nMozilla believes that the web can displace proprietary, single-vendor stacks for application development. To make open web technologies a better basis for future applications on mobile and desktop alike, we need to keep pushing the envelope of the web to include --- and in places exceed --- the capabilities of the competing stacks in question.\nWebAPI - New web APIs: build prototype APIs for exposing device and OS capabilities to content (Telephony, SMS, Camera, USB, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.)\n\n

Lots of work. since mobile is new, we need to evangelise and push hard on Android. Challenges:\n* regional limitation of devices. iOS has 5 devices, 1 manufacturer. Android has 6 major manufacturers, over 250 known brands and climbing\n* many are running low end hardware, non updated Android OS’s\n* we have one App, that doesnt come with the stock setup, and is 3 times as large an install base. \n* carriers can block apps, limit download size.. need distributionn model\n\nChannels: moving off XUL Fennec to Native. 6 weeks, we change channels like firefox\n\nTurn to community crowdsourcing for coverage!\n
