Testing summary

Scope of Testing

In Scope

This feature purpose is to introduce new "search" function in Preference.

The testing effort for the New DevTools Debugger Panel will be invested on the following areas:

• functionality: basic and advanced functionality to be verified according to the existing requirements;
• usability: search functionality must be easy to use and straightforward;
• accessibility: search functionality can be used with High Contrast Theme, Keyboard only or Screen Reader;

In the scope of current testing are following critical areas:

• General search field behavior for preferences
• Query submitted
• Hover on tooltip
• No search results
• Search highlight and Firefox support positioning

Requirements for testing

Environments

Full testing will be performed on the following OSes:

• Windows 10 x64
• Mac OS X 10.12
• Ubuntu 16.04

Channel dependent settings (configs) and environment setups

Test Strategy

Risk Assessment and Coverage

ID	Description / Threat Description	Covered by Test Objective	Magnitude	Probability	Priority	Impact Score
RAC-1	Risk description 1	TO-1	2-Moderate	1-Unlikely	3-High	6
RAC-2	Risk description 2	TO-1	3-High	3-Almost Certain	3-High	27
RAC-3	Risk description 3	TO-2	2-Moderate	2-Possible	3-High	12

Values:

• Magnitude: 1- Low , 2-Moderate, 3-High

• Probability: 1-Unlikely, 2-Possible, 3-Almost Certain

• Priority: 1 - Low, 2-Medium, 3-High

Impact Score Breakdown:

• An impact value of 1, 2, 3, 4 would describe an area which although should be covered there aren't expected any discoveries of critical issues.
• An impact value of 6, 8, 9, 12 would describe an area in which we expect to find issues but those issues are not expected to be critical.
• An impact value of 18 or 27 would describe an area on which it is likely to find issues and those issues to be critical or blockers.

Test Objectives

This section details the progression test objectives that will be covered. Please note that this is at a high level. For large projects, a suite of test cases would be created which would reference directly back to this master. This could be documented in bullet form or in a table similar to the one below.

Ref	Function	Test Objective	Test Type	RAC	Owners
1	General search field behavior	The objective the test is trying to demonstrate	Manual	RAC-1, RAC-2	Eng Team
2	Query submitted	The objective the test is trying to demonstrate	Manual	RAC-1, RAC-2	Eng Team
3	Hover on tooltip	The objective the test is trying to demonstrate	Manual	RAC-1, RAC-2	Eng Team
4	No search results	The objective the test is trying to demonstrate	Manual	RAC-1, RAC-2	Eng Team
5	Search highlight and Firefox support positioning	The objective the test is trying to demonstrate	Manual	RAC-1, RAC-2	Eng Team
