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.

Please record your detailed results in the section below.

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.

FFTs are a full comprehensive set of litmus tests that extend coverage in areas that BFTs dont often get to. These are run at least once during the major milestone timeline.

If you are running a BFT or FFT, Please record your detailed results in the section below.

Updates Testing

We will be doing updates of all Alpha/Beta users to beta4. We will be checking complete updates, and failover scenarios.

Will be available on betatest, releasetest, and beta channels.

Testcases and Results are tracked here.

L10N

Visual inspection: Go through the P1 list of locales, and run a spotcheck to see if everything visually looks fine. Refer to Fx3.1 L10N Requirements for more specifics.

Testcases and Results are tracked here.

Staging/Live Spotchecks & Webpages

1) Verify the following webpages that gets pushed to staging and then to the live sites. Look for content messaging, spelling mistakes, broken links & imnages, etc..

• Firstrun page (Staging link)
• Whatsnew Page (Staging link)
• Releasenotes page (Staging link)

2) Check live site download links on all platforms. Please cover en-US, and 2 or 3 additional Tier 1 locales as well. Pay attention to the following areas:

• Check for signed installer and applications (windows only)
• Firstrun page, whatsnew page, Home page, Search plugin
• Install, uninstall
• General spotchecks and browser functionality
• Confirm Build IDs
