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.
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.
