Overview
Purpose
Link rot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot) happens. The problem is that web sites come, and many go. When this happens unsuspecting web surfers can encounter the equivalent of a dead-end sign with little or no suggested next steps. The solution: Detect and intersect 404 conditions. Add functionality to the Firefox browser to check to see if content from the requested URL has been archived, and is available, via the Wayback Machine and, if it is available, offer to render it.
Scope
This wiki details the testing that will be performed for the NoMore404s feature. It defines the overall testing requirements and provides an integrated view of the project test activities.

Testing summary
Scope of Testing
In Scope
The goal is to give the User a way to see pages that are no longer available (404 - Page not found.) Verify that inactive pages (404 Page not found) will redirect the user to an archived version of the site (if it exists), if the add-on is installed.
Out of Scope
Following areas/features are considered out of scope and will not be considered as testing zones to be handled in this test plan:
- Mobile testing
- Active Websites
Requirements for testing
Environments
Testing will be performed on the following OSes (both x86 & x64 infrastructures):
- Windows 7
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10
- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Mac OS X 10.10
- Mac OS X 10.11
Test Strategy
Test Objectives
This section details the progression test objectives that will be covered.
| Ref | Function | Test Objective | Evaluation Criteria | Test Type | Owners |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Install the NoMore404s add-on | Verify that the add-on is correctly installed. | Verify that the add-on can be found in about:addons, Extensions section. | Manual | Eng Team |
| 2 | NoMore404s functionality | Verify that the feature works. | Visit a page that is no longer active. | Manual | Eng Team |
| 3 | Private Browsing | Verify that the feature works while in private browsing. | Visit a page that is no longer active. | Manual | Eng Team |
| 4 | Availability | Verify the availability of the add-on. | 1. Active pages do not redirect to archived pages. 2. Inactive pages which result in 404 will redirect to an archived version of the page. |
Manual | Eng Team |
| 5 | Disable NoMore404s | Disable the add-on from about:addons. | Visiting pages that are no longer active show the “404 Page not found” error. | Manual | Eng Team |
| 6 | Uninstall NoMore404s add-on | Remove the add-on from about:addons. | Visiting pages that are no longer active show the “404 Page not found” error. | Manual | Eng Team |
Builds
- Add-on Development version - No longer available due to graduation from Test Pilot that occurred on 02/15/2017. You can read the graduation report on Test Pilot experiment page.
- Add-on Release version - TBA (AMO link)
- A custom build can be made using the steps from GitHub repo.
Note that the add-on only works on Firefox versions 45.x and up.

Status
Overview
- The NoMore404s experiment graduated from Test Pilot in 02/15/2017 (details here). It will not reach any of the Firefox channels, the decision was to transform it into an AMO add-on.
The experimental add-on will not be uninstalled from Test Pilot users browsers since it will continue to live trough AMO. But it will no longer be available in Test Pilot website for install.
Risk analysis
| Risk areas | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| External dependencies on Test Pilot | The add-on is installed through Test Pilot |
| External dependencies on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine | Pages that are not archived will here will still have the generic 404 error |
