Thanks for reporting this. 

The tutorial seems to have been removed from QMO. There's a copy over at http://new.quality.mozilla.org/documents-home/test-docs/litmus-tutorial. Can that document get re-uploaded to QMO so that we can update the link on the litmus homepage? 

Kicking this over to the QMO component until the document exists again, then it can come back to litmus.

I've temporarily changed the tutorial link to point to the old doc, but someone should really migrate the doc over to the current QMO.

I'm going to assign this to Tracy since he's owning the Litmus documentation. Tracy, we just need an update to the document mentioned in comment #2

I just created http://new.quality.mozilla.org/http%3A/%252Fquality.mozilla.org/documents-home/test-docs/litmus-tutorial   ???

Probably needs to be deleted.  I thought I was on qmo not new.qmo.  Someone that actually knows how to shuffle docs around on qmo should do this before I mess up anything else.  reassigning to default owner.

I can still see this issue - it would be nice to see it fix as people may need help in litmus.

[Daniel Tavares]

Link is still broken.

A grievously out-of-date version is now available again in the wiki:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Litmus:Tutorial

I've updated the links from Litmus to point to this new location.

I would encourage eager new contributors to help with updating the doc to reflect the current state of Litmus.

Since we're hoping to have Litmus replaced in the next quarter or so, I'm not sure how much work we should put in there.

I've been waiting 4 years for this replacement to materialize. I'm hopeful for the new version too, but also realistic. Better to have some docs in place in case things are delayed further.

I match your cynicism and raise you a dose of jaded.

What would you like to see done on this wiki page? Any suggestions?

Some thoughts:

* Removing the branch-specific notes under "Setup a Test," or mapping them to the new state of the world with nightly/aurora/beta.

* Adjusting the workflow to what happens on testdays these days.

* moar hyperlinks to docs, static pages within Litmus, bugzilla, etc.
