Summary:
Run through the manual test cases for desktop apps listed here. These test cases span multiple sheets in this google document to cover testing soup installation, launching and running soup, installing apps, using the store, sync, purchasing apps, and other miscellaneous areas. After you run one or more test cases, send Aaron Train a message specifying what test case IDs you ran and the results of those test cases on the operating systems you ran the test cases on. Additionally, if an app was used during this case, specify what app was used. If you found any issues while testing, check to see if a bug was logged in the web apps bugzilla component. If there is no issue logged for an issue you found, log a bug here.
