Please check back in a few days. Expect some templates and samples up shortly to help get you going. <u>The currently listed test types are subject to change.</u>
==Future of the Project==
Here are some of the ideas related to the continuation of this project. Included are some personal ideas of the team members, tasks to reach the overall objective (a working, robust, Delta Debugging Framework for Mozilla), and additional features/functionality that would enhance the framework.
===CVS Support via Bonsai===
For the exploration into Bonsai and to see where it is/was heading, please view the [[delta debugging framework bonsai direction|Bonsai Direction]]. It is likely that a workable solution could be produced utilizing some of the details found in the link. This functionality would be particularly useful to Mozilla as this [Bonsai] is the technology they currently use.
===Enhancement of the Algorithm===
Richard's great algorithm can be further enhanced using a binary search-like approach that splits the revision from the current, all the way back to when the regression was first noticed (or, alternatively, when the crash case last known to have worked). Currently it works in a sequential manner, testing all previous revisions in order.
===Fleshed Out Test Suite Design===
The test suite test types should be further fleshed out and individual tests gathered (no participation from the class was possible due to time constraints; the test suite design wasn't fully explored and documented). Test suites could be put together for each major Mozilla.org project (Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Bugzilla, etc.).
===More Crash Cases===
More crash cases need to be found for the success in testing the project.
===Unit Tests===
A debugging framework, more so than other projects, should have its code quality tested and scrutinized heavily. Perhaps some manual audits could be performed by hand from outside contributors in the future.
