Welcome to the Bon Echo Community Test Day!

Thank you for participating in this test day. The success of Firefox and Thunderbird is heavily dependent on community members like you. We appreciate your support!

When you are done, please send feedback to testday@mozilla.org or post significant findings to the Mozilla QA blog (http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/qa/). We are very interested to hear about how the test day went, any overall thoughts about Bon Echo, and roll up of issues found and bugs filed.

The official time for the test day is Friday, August 11, 2006, from 7am - 5pm PDT, but anyone can jump on Litmus at any time on any day!

For more information about this release, please check out the Bon Echo wiki. You will find the current schedule, test plan, and specific areas we can use help testing.

FAQ

Where do I start?

Other Options of if you don't use IRC:

  • Use Instant Messenger - http://www.aim.com/. A moderator will be online under the screen name "MozillaTestDay". Please send your screenname to marcia@mozilla.org before the test day so you can be invited to the chatroom, or just message "MozillaTestDay" during the day to figure out what to do.

OK, I am in the channel, now what?

Let the moderators know if you have any questions or encounter any problems. If you are not familiar with our bugzilla bug tracking system, feel free to report your problems to a moderator and they can log any bugs for you.

What build should I test?

We will be testing the Bon Echo nightly candidate builds:

Firefox: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8

What specifically will we be testing?

We will be testing the new tabbed browsing features that will be in Firefox 2. A quick overview of the new features:

  • Tab overflow - now when a lot of tabs are open, scroll buttons appear on the left and right side of the tab bar allowing you to scroll through tabs.
  • All Tabs button - a button that shows on the right side of the tab bar that lists all open tabs.
  • Close button on tabs - instead of having the close button on the right side of the tab bar, now close buttons are on each individual tabs.
  • Warn if closing too many tabs - now if you try to open too many tabs at once (more than 15), you will be asked if you want to open those tabs.
  • Tab focusing behavior - when you open a new tab from a link on a page and then close that tab, you will go back to the page the tab was opened from

Testing Instructions

Note: The nightly builds will still be branded with Bon Echo. The release builds will be branded Firefox.

Follow these instructions:

  1. Download a Bon Echo build from the nightly directory: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8
  2. Go to Litmus and run the FF2.0 Full Functional Tests for Tabbed browsing. (link to more on litmus)

Some other ways you can help:

  • Think of some test cases that aren't already included in Litmus (we love suggestions!).
  • Do some exploratory testing with tabbed browsing. Do a combination of things to try to explore the feature fully.

Where do I find Litmus?

  • Go to the Litmus start page.
  • Log in or create an account if you don't already have one and then select run tests.
  • Enter the appropriate information and click Submit.
  • Choose a test group and then a subgroup and then click Submit to start testing!

Tips:

  • Make sure you enter the correct information for your platform, version of Firefox, etc.
  • Feel free to ask on IRC or AIM if you need help or have any questions.

How do I file bugs?

First of all, let one of the moderators know so they can check if it is already a known problem. Then they can guide you to either provide more details, update an existing bug or file a new bug.

If filing a new bug, please do a quick check to see if the bug already exists. This can easily be done by searching for the error message, window name, or some over identifing feature of the bug.

In the case of any testing endeavor, it is important to include the list of extensions that you have installed since they can often cause strange issues to crop up.

How do I send feedback?

Please use the testday@mozilla.org to send feedback about how the testday went, any overall thoughts about Bon Echo, and roll up of issues found and bugs filed. We really appreciate your help today and your feedback is very valuable.
