Smoketest Testing

Lite verification tests (or smoketests) will be first ran when the builds are ready. Tests are available on litmus under the Firefox 3.1 test suite. In any case the Smoketests result, we will raise blockers asap before proceeding with the bfts.

Note - For windows testing, please also make a smoketest pass against windows 7 beta

BFT / FFT Testing

BFTs are a more comprehensive set of litmus tests that cover the build testing after smoketests result. Tests are available on litmus under the Firefox 3.1 test suite.
