Overview

Purpose

The purpose of this work is to change the update file format using LZMA compression. The update will have LZMA support and the update file size will be smaller.


Scope

  • Testing will focus on:
Stability of the browser with this work.
Whether browser update is applied
If the browser update is in the desized file format


  • How testing will be performed:
Manual
  • Automation is covered by the developer

Testing summary

Scope of Testing

In Scope

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

Out of Scope

Mobile devices are not affected by this work so this testing does not include them

Automation is handled by the developer
Automated tests:

Risk Analysis

  • Update may not be applied so that the user may not get browser updates
  • May behave differently in different operating systems
  • Update may not be applied successfully if the browser has add-on
  • May behave differently if update download is interrupted by no internet connection
  • The update file may not be in desired MAR file format

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

Nightly

Firefox Nightly 56.0a1, no special configuration is required
This patch was pushed to Mozilla-central on 7-31-2017, so all Nightly updates should update through this watershed.

Beta

Beta 56.0b3, no special configuration is required
Feature was backed out Bug 1387231 so the watershed for beta will be 56b3.
To test on 56b3, 56b4 is required as this is update related work.

Test Strategy

Test Objectives

  • Verify update is applied successfully
  • Verify browser is stable and does not crash with this feature
  • Verify browser does not crash while updating
  • Verify update is applied when the browser has an add-on
  • Verify Firefox is responsive if update download is interrupted by no internet connection
  • Verify the update is in MAR file format

Builds

This section should contain links for builds with the feature -

  • Links for Nightly build: Nightly build
  • Links for Beta build: use beta build later than 56b3
