== Standalone Test Harnesses ==
Mozilla uses several systems for [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_automated_testing automated testing], including [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mochitest Mochitest], [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_automated_testing#Reftest Reftest], [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Writing_xpcshell-based_unit_tests xpcshell unit tests], and [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla_automated_testing#Crash_tests crash tests]. Currently, to run these test suites or develop new tests, you need to build your own Firefox with --enable-tests, and run the tests from the object directory. Ideally there would be a standalone package available for download that would let you run these test suites against any Firefox build, to ease development of new tests and allow more people to get involved with automated testing.
