The focus of today's community test day is to go through the Common Operations test cases in Litmus. This is a subgroup of test cases that is part of a smoketest that checks for common internet navigation tasks, such as checking your mail, reading from a news site, visiting a site with music or video, going to a secure site like a bank, etc...
 
What do we expect to find? Hopefully, we should be able to navigate and exprience these sites without any problems. However it is probable that we will find some glitches when visiting sites that make heavy use of AJAX, for example.
