Requirements and QA Planning
Most of the work for 3.6 is being done in the form of sprints. You will find links to the features documentation here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Sprints
We will hold testplan brainstorming and review sessions with the acting developers. Ideally, the developer will explain the feature to a small group of QA people, and we'll have a chance to brainstorm test cases afterwards. If you own a feature, make sure to schedule a session with the developer; make it public to engage community members who might be interested in participating.
