     7 =======

     9 Mozbase is a set of easy-to-use Python packages forming a supplemental standard

    10 library for Mozilla. It provides consistency and reduces redundancy in

    11 automation and other system-level software. All of Mozilla's test harnesses use

    12 mozbase to some degree, including Talos_, mochitest_, reftest_, Autophone_, and

    13 Eideticker_.

    25 In the course of writing automated tests at Mozilla, we found that

    26 the same tasks came up over and over, regardless of the specific nature of

    27 what we were testing. We figured that consolidating this code into a set of

    28 libraries would save us a good deal of time, and so we spent some effort

    29 factoring out the best-of-breed automation code into something we named

    30 "mozbase" (usually written all in lower case except at the beginning of a

    31 sentence).

    33 This is the main documentation for users of mozbase. There is also a

    34 project_ wiki page with notes on development practices and administration.

    38 The documentation is organized by category, then by module. Figure out what you

    39 want to do then dive in!
