Mozmill Base Object Interfaces 编辑

At the top of many Mozmill tests you will see a line that contains a setupModule function with something that looks like the following code in it: controller = mozmill.getBrowserController(); This creates a "controller" object for the test to use. The controller object is the heart of all Mozmill interfaces in that it allows you to completely control the application under test. However, this makes use of a global object called mozmill to instantiate the controller. The mozmill object API provides many convenience methods to help you get started testing specific applications.
