Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::TestAgent, defect)

Description

[James Lal [:lightsofapollo]]

Test agent is now well over a year old and has various issues:

- its big! everything is in one repo and has many features which we don't need
- it has too many features (watching, ui, mutli-iframe support, etc...) 
- its soup... everything effects everything else inside of the same domain
- its hard to run: it should be ./test-agent xfoo_test.js but its very difficult to launch right now (you need to start the server then run the app).
- its not integrated with the browser at a low level so its difficult to get details out of firefox (like why we crashed, etc...)

The plan is to rewrite the core of test-agent using the things we learned over the last year and re-use some of the newer modules designed for marionette-js-runner.
