Testing summary

Scope of Testing

In Scope

This feature will be tested manually on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Out of Scope

Automation will be handled by the developer
Mobile devices will not be tested.


Requirements for testing

Environments

Windows 10 64bits
Windows 7 32bits
Ubuntu 16.04 32 and 64bits
MacOSX 10.12


Channel dependent settings (configs) and environment setups

Test Strategy

Risk Analysis

  • The update may not be available in desired file format
  • Update may not be applied so that the user may not get browser updates
  • May behave differently in different operating systems

Test Objectives

  • Verify update is available in desired file format
  • Verify update is applied successfully
  • Verify browser is stable and does not crash with this feature
  • Verify browser does not crash while updating

Builds

This section should contain links for builds with the feature -

  • Links for Nightly builds
  • Links for Beta builds

Help/Support
Help/support interface required Make sure link to support/help page exist and is easy reachable.
Support documents planned(written) Make sure support documents are written and are correct.
Install/Upgrade
Feature upgrades/downgrades data as expected
Does sync work across upgrades
Requires install testing separate feature/application installation needed (not only Firefox)
Affects first-run or onboarding Florin/Lawrence are investigating if there is a dedicated QA for this, or we should test? Should be an yes/no and if is yes should add in detail column the team/person assigned.
Does this affect partner builds? Partner build testing yes/no options, add comment with details about who will lead testing
Enterprise Raise up the topic to developers to see if they are expecting to work different on ESR builds
Enterprise administration
Network proxies/autoconfig
ESR behavior changes
Locked preferences
Data Monitoring
Temporary or permanent telemetry monitoring List of error conditions to monitor
Telemetry correctness testing
Server integration testing
Offline and server failure testing
Load testing
Add-ons If add-ons are available for testing feature, or is current feature will affect some add-ons, then API testing should be done for the add-on.
Addon API required?
Comprehensive API testing
Permissions
Testing with existing/popular addons
Security Security is in charge of Matt Wobensmith. We should contact his team to see if security testing is necessary for current feature.
3rd-party security review
Privilege escalation testing
Fuzzing
Web Compatibility depends on the feature
Testing against target sites
Survey of many sites for compatibility
Interoperability depends on the feature
Common protocol/data format with other software: specification available. Interop testing with other common clients or servers.
Coordinated testing/interop across the Firefoxes: Desktop, Android, iOS
Interaction of this feature with other browser features
