Testing results tracking page for major updates. We have tested major updates in the past by following the major software update test cases in Litmus, but currently we can do this type of test on "releasetest" going from 1.5.0.12->2.0.0.4. Bear in mind that the testing environment is temporary.

Use the major software update testing strategy page as reference. In-line Details have been translated for all locales. Eulas are not translated and they default to the en-US version.

Focused Testing

Let's try to go through all of the tests in the major updates reference page and test around different kinds of profiles, containing multiple extensions and themes, compatible and incompatible with 2.0x. Keep an eye out for data loss problems, such as bookmarks, and any other preferences that should be preserved after an update.
