Firefox:1.5.0.8:Test Plan

General Firefox 1.5.0.x Test Plan

NOTES: This will be updated shortly, for 1.5.0.8

Bug Verifications

Identify bugs to be verified

• Triage fixed bugs and categorize
  • Focus on security and critical bugs first
  • Add "testcase" keyword for those bugs that have reproducible steps and/or attached testcase(s)
  • Identify difficult to reproduce bugs that do not have a testcase
    • add [need testcase] in status whiteboard.
    • request more info from reporter, developer, or anyone interested in the bug
  • Spot check "no verification necessary" bugs
    • Usually internal architecture changes with no externally visible effects
    • Quick code inspection and checkin verification with bonsai

Confidence metrics and sign-off requirements

• Security bug verifications: 100%
• Critical bug verifications: 100%
• Non-critical bug verifications will be done on a case by case basis, depending on developer feedback and community testing.

Configuration Testing

We need to describe our configuration testing approach better. For now, we are generally testing these OS's:

• Windows XP
• MacOS 10.3, 10.4
• Linux Ferdora Core 4

But we need to consider our system requirements statements. I have seen at least three versions. Here is one:

• mozilla.com->Products Tab -> Firefox -> System Requirements link
