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). Here are the other requirements as detailed in the bug:

  • 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


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

Schedule Scoping

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