Firefox:Download Page:Test Plan

Download Page Test Plan

Description of Release

Marketing wants to increase retention of Firefox downloads, and in order to accomplish this, they have resigned the "Mozilla Download" pages on the three major platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is important that users of other browsers--especially IE, Safari, and Opera--are able to successfully:
1) See the custom-tailored, redirect page that lets them know how to download and install Firefox.
2) Download Firefox both with and without JavaScript enabled.

Specific Test Plan for this Release

QA will run each browser listed on the "Browser Testing Matrix," below, on the platforms noted, with a careful eye not only for functionality of the webpages, but also their appearance, ensuring that the copy is grammatically correct.

Results will be reported in the "Testing Results" section, below, and its report will be the chief deciding factor on whether to push live.

To test this with JavaScript enabled (default setting for all browsers):

1. With the default settings for the particular browser, visit the specific "Download Firefox" URL (NEED STAGING URLs) for your operating system.
2. Click on the "Download Firefox - Free" green button.
3. Ensure that it:

  • Redirects you to a page specific to your operating system, with screenshots appropriate for the given OS, as well as all instructions. Check spelling and grammar of said page.
  • Pops up a "Opening Firefox 2.0.0.6[file extension]" dialog, which allows you to save the binary/package to disk.

To test this with JavaScript disabled:

1. Disable JavaScript for your particular browser.
2. Visit the specific "Download Firefox" URL (NEED STAGING URLs) for your operating system.
3. Click on the "Download Firefox - Free" button.
4. Verify that you don't get an "Opening Firefox 2.0.0.6[file extension]" dialog, and that upon clicking on the "link" portion in "Your download will begin shortly... If your download does not start after a few seconds, use this link." spawns the "Opening Firefox 2.0.0.6[file extension]" with the latest appropriate build of Firefox for your operating system.
