== Strategy ==

* Testing the lifecycle of a packaged app (i.e. install, uninstall, launch)
* Testing the content and permissions of a packaged app

== Edge Cases ==

Many of the edge cases in [https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/Apps/Hosted_Apps#Edge_Cases hosted apps] are applicable here. The specialized areas are:

* Reinstalling a packaged app with different app contents
* Missing content in the packaged app

== Signoff Criteria ==

* All basecamp blockers are closed
* All smoke tests and basic functional tests are ran without finding any basecamp blockers

== Infrastructure ==

* Will utilize the marketplace development server to host zip files to be installed on to the Firefox OS device

== Test Cases and Results ==

See the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqDJxnTd7VDLdGtGUXFxc1ZvTmExODZRb1lxWnZTbmc#gid=21 Gaia System Test Log] under "Apps" in the packaged apps section to find test cases in relation to packaged apps.

== Test Coverage Needed ==

The following areas will need test coverage, are currently not covered by existing test cases, and are classified as basecamp blocker level:

* Trusted apps in general
* Appcache preloading
* Off-origin navigation from a packaged app
* Navigation within the web app vs. switching to the browser
* Permissions management within a packaged app context
* Reviewing and editing packaged app permissions on device
* Clearing app cache data for a packaged app

== Open Questions ==

* How does off-origin navigation work within a packaged app?
* How does navigation in the web app vs. switching to the browser work in a packaged app?
