Testing summary
Scope of Testing
In Scope
Turning On Search Suggestions is a Mozilla feature that aims to enable the search suggestions by default and give the users the possibility to disable them (before Firefox 55, the search suggestions were disabled by default and the users were asked to enable them).
With this feature, a new hint is displayed in the Awesome's bar dropdown informing the users (that ignored the enabling/disabling of the search suggestions or on clean installs) about the enabling of the search suggestions. The users that previously allowed the search suggestions or blocked them, won't see the hint.
Out of Scope
Testing of other functionalities of the Awesome bar that are not related to the enabling of the search suggestions are not in the interest of testing for this feature.
Requirements for testing
Environments
Full testing will be performed on the following OSes:
- Windows, probably Windows 7 and Windows 10
- Mac OS X
- Ubuntu
Other configuration/environmental setup needed:
- Search suggestions in the Awesome Bar can be enabled/disabled by checking/unchecking the option "Show search suggestions in location bar results" in about:preferences#general.
Test Strategy
Risk Assessment and Coverage
| ID | Description / Threat Description | Covered by Test Objective | Magnitude | Probability | Priority | Impact Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAC-1 | Awesomebar and One offs functionality/performance might be affected by the enabling of the search suggestions | TO-1 | 2-Moderate | 1-Unlikely | 3-High | 6 |
| RAC-2 | Enabling the search suggestions by default confuses users because the search suggestions hint not noticeable enough | TO-1 | 3-High | 3-Almost Certain | 3-High | 27 |
| RAC-3 | The search suggestions hint is displayed also to the non targeted users | TO-2 | 2-Moderate | 2-Possible | 3-High | 12 |
| RAC-4 | The search suggestions are enabled also for the non targeted users | TO-2 | 2-Moderate | 2-Possible | 3-High | 12 |
Values:
- Magnitude: 1- Low , 2-Moderate, 3-High
- Probability: 1-Unlikely, 2-Possible, 3-Almost Certain
- Priority: 1 - Low, 2-Medium, 3-High
Impact Score Breakdown:
- An impact value of 1, 2, 3, 4 would describe an area which although should be covered there aren't expected any discoveries of critical issues.
- An impact value of 6, 8, 9, 12 would describe an area in which we expect to find issues but those issues are not expected to be critical.
- An impact value of 18 or 27 would describe an area on which it is likely to find issues and those issues to be critical or blockers.
Test Objectives
This section details the progression test objectives that will be covered. Please note that this is at a high level. For large projects, a suite of test cases would be created which would reference directly back to this master. This could be documented in bullet form or in a table similar to the one below.
| Ref | Function | Test Objective | Evaluation Criteria | Test Type | RAC | Owners |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Search suggestions hint | Search suggestions hint is displayed for the users that do not have the search suggestions blocked | The hint informing users that search suggestions are enabled is displayed in the Awesome bar drop down just under the URL | Manual | RAC-1, RAC-2, RAC-3 | Eng Team |
| 2 | Search suggestions disabling | Search suggestions in the Awesome Bar can be disabled | Clicking on Change Settings in the search suggestions hint takes you to the about:preferences#general from where search suggestions can be disabled | Manual | RAC-1, RAC-2, RAC-3 | Eng Team |
| 3 | Accessibility | Search suggestions and the hint announcing them being enabled are visible and usable from accessibility point of view | Testing for accessibility includes: - testing using high Contract themes |
Manual | RAC-1, RAC-2, RAC-3 | Eng Team |
| 4 | Upgrade-Downgrade | The search suggestions hint behavior at FF Upgrade/Downgrade | One-Off searches Awesomebar buttons are not lost during FF upgrade/downgrade | Manual | RAC-1, RAC-2, RAC-3, RAC-4 | Eng Team |
