Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 Testplan

Description of Release

This is the first beta version of Firefox 3.6 (Namoroka). We intend to have only one beta version for this release. With this in mind, we will run a full series of tests across platforms.

Specific Plan Beta 1

We will finish a full cycle of QA before releasing, but we might consider shipping after a short QA cycle, after which QA could complete a full set of tests while the build is exercised by a larger audience. Check dev-planning@lists.mozilla.org for more details.

Schedule

We will run through Litmus smoketests, full functional tests, l10n spot checks and updates checks, as well as new feature testing, depending on what finally lands for the 1.9.2 branch.

  • Builds Start: Oct 6
  • QA: Oct 7-13
