Jun 1, 2026In June 2026, the FX Desktop QA Automation effort delivered the PDF Editor: Text, Draw, and Field Editing feature for mozilla/fx-desktop-qa-automation. The feature enables in-app PDF editing via a toolbar with text editing, drawing tools, and management of drawing areas and prefilled fields. The release also expands test coverage with scenarios for drawing areas (create/resize/move/delete), text modifications, and prefilled data, complemented by a refactor of the test-suite CI to improve reliability and maintainability. No major defects were reported this month; the focus was on feature delivery, test coverage, and CI resilience, delivering business value by accelerating QA validation and reducing manual testing overhead. Demonstrated technologies and skills include Python-based test automation, UI testing, CI/CD practices, and code quality improvements (linting with Ruff and page object abstractions).
