Marionette is an automation driver for the gecko engine to write UI tests. With Marionette, one can replicate user actions and control either UI/JS of Gecko platform. This includes both the visible content of the page (content context) or the elements of the menu/ functions (chrome context).

In this talk, I'll be explaining it's usage in Firefox/Firefox OS explaining about Marionette & a little about Firefox Puppeteer. I hope with the basic knowledge of these, people would be able to contribute to Mozilla Firefox.

Pre-requisites: Basic knowledge of writing and executing test cases using pytest/unittest or any other framework.
