Session Restore Test Plan

Owner: marcia Created on 10/31/2008

Overview

The major change related to Session Restore for FF 3.1 is to change from a prompt to an error page. According to Alex Faaborg, after the first crash, when you reopen Firefox it automatically restores your session (no dialog or error tab).

The particular challenges with testing this feature would be to make sure there is no data loss when we restore windows and tabs and that the "Restore Session" and "Start New Session" function properly.

Test Strategy

Test Restore Session Functionality
Test Restoring Individual Tabs
Test Restoring Individual Windows
Test Starting a New Session
Automated Tests are here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/sessionstore/test/browser/

Schedule Scoping

Estimate amount of time it will take to complete feature(Consider nightly builds, security reviews, bugs turnaround time)

References

Bug 448976 - turn the Session Restore prompt into an error page (and dependent bugs). - The spec for this feature is basically the mockup from Alex (attachment 336774).

Bug 346337 - Form input field data not retained on session restore

Bug 339445 - Session store should save/restore sessionStorage data (from DOMStorage)

All bugs fixed in the Firefox 3.1 timeframe

Litmus Test Cases Added

UI Nits

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462620 - Use alternating row colors in about:sessionrestore tree view on OS X
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462618 - Use a generic window icon to represent windows in about:sessionrestore
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462618 - Use native the native check box appearance in XUL trees
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462632 - Buttons have wrong alignment on about:sessionrestore in Linux

-*In the event that the browser crashes again, we display the restore previous
-session tab on opening details are already displayed (no "Show Details" button)
-*Have two buttons: "Restore Previous Session" and "Start new Session" (start
-new session loads the home page in this tab)
-*Remove the sentence about loading your home page
-*Switch the icon from an error to a question, since we are recovering from
-an error, not producing an error
-*Remove question mark from Restore column, and make this the first column in
-the list view
