Firefox 4 Testplan

Firefox 4, no code name yet, will be the next major release of Firefox scheduled to be released, tentatively, sometime before the end of the year. The scope for this release is in flux, but Mike Beltzner has presented the vision for Firefox 4 to the community through the Mozilla blog.

Milestone Test Results

Mozilla Developer Preview releases are spun from the 3.7 trunk, which is why their designation is 3.7AlphaX. The first beta spun off of this will bear the Firefox 4 designation.

Firefox 4 Feature Highlights

List the major features for Firefox 4 such as:

  • HTML5
  • WebM
  • New Theme

Requirements and QA Planning

Most of the work for Firefox 4 is being done in the form of sprints/projects. You will find links to the features documentation and landing targets here:

We will hold testplan brainstorming and review sessions with the developers in charge of the features. Ideally, the developer will explain the feature to a small group of QA people, and we'll have a chance to brainstorm test cases with them. If you own a feature, make sure to schedule a session with the developer; make it public to engage community members who might be interested in participating.
