Hello there, and welcome to the AMO test day! Thanks for volunteering your time and energy to help us improve addons.mozilla.org! Below, you'll find the setup information and some use-cases to help guide you in your testing; feel free, though, to go off on your own and just ad-hoc test!
Staging server: https://preview.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
If you prefer running a set of manual testcases:
- Testrun for AMO Public pages - Includes testcases to validate user functionalities like adding add-on reviews,updating user profile etc. Don't forget to spiral around scenarios to check for edge-cases.

If you prefer to do ad-hoc testing, then:
What to test?
The focus for this testday is Public pages of AMO. So, here are a few things you could check for:
- Functionality-a Feature does what it is supposed to do.
*Layout-no overlap or visibility issues
*Usability (does something not make sense? seem hard to use?)
*Security-XSS,encoding/escaping issues etc
*Error handling- System fails gracefully and displays useful and appropriate user/error messages
What *not* to worry about?
- Don't worry about -261 errors when trying to install an add-on; the preview server doesn't always have the most up-to-date files synced to it from the production database
