=Overview= | |||
==How Firefox/Thunderbird updates are tested== | |||
We use four update channels for Firefox & Thunderbird releases. The two channels that end users see are | |||
* beta - default channel for the releases 2.0a1, 2.0b1, and up to the last 2.0 beta | |||
* release - default channel for the first release candidate for 2.0. The vast majority of people are on this channel. | |||
Then there are | |||
* betatest - mainly QA testing of updates, pointing to the ftp server, to check that they apply properly, the UI works etc etc | |||
* releasetest - mainly QA testing of updates, pointing to download.m.o (bouncer), to make sure everything is available to end users when the release is imminent | |||
