Will Not Test
Will NOT test
As I understand if from talking with Rob Strong, Windows Vista and XP should exhibit the same types of bugs in the browser space. The area of focus for Vista need to be on the pieces that are touch or work in concert with the OS. Therefore it will not be necessary to do exhaustive testing of browser functionality. We will keep the same strategy we do for all of our major releases and do a thorough full functional test of the release.
Platforms and Configurations
At the time of this writing, Windows Vista ships several different versionS of Vista, including:
- Vista Ultimate
- Vista Home Basic
- Vista Home Premium
- Vista Business
Parental Controls is not shipped with the lower end versions of Vista, so emphasis should be given to Vista Ultimate and Home Premium to make sure PC is fully covered.
It is not likely that QA will be able to cover all of these editions.
Major Test Areas
Our Test coverage will be a multi-leveled approach:
- 1. Functional testing and
- 2. Some stress/boundary/negative tests (depth of functionality):
- FFT in Litmus run on the Windows Vista platform
- 3. Ad hoc and regression testing
Functional Testing
- We will run the Litmus Win Vista specific testing suite.
- Litmus test cases will be added for any new Vista specific features that are supported.
Stress testing/Negative Testing(depth of functionality):
Due to the fact the Vista is considerably different than XP, we should do a fair amount of negative testing to expose as many Vista-specific issues as possible.
Ad hoc & regression testing
The Mozilla community users will cover some of the Ad hoc testing. Regression testing will cover:
- QA Verification of Resolved bugs
- Daily smoketesting of builds
References to Relevant Bugs (not complete)
- Parental Controls can be easily bypassed by going back to the download source
- Vista Tracking Bug
- Dependency Tree
- File downloads should honor Vista's parent control setting
- Honor URL override settings for Vista's parental control settings
- Change default downloading folder in Windows Vista from Desktop to Downloads
- ui problems when attempting to run a .exe from the download manager on vista
- disabled html selects have blue background on vista
- Widget Animation on Vista?
- On Vista, every menulist should be a menubutton
- avoid the second UAC prompt for helper.exe on software update by launching it directly from the elevated updater.exe process
- Standard Vista account with Parental Controls turned on cannot launch Firefox
- Handle OS Shutdown sanely on Windows/Linux (dataloss/odd UI)
- Ability to install as a standard user on Vista is not available
- Set the default app on Vista via the installer
Fixed Bugs that need to be verified
- 399381 Support Custom Wizard Images
- 398434 - Provide option to remove profiles during uninstall -> VERIFIED
- 393149 - Some registry keys aren't removed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\ -> VERIFIED
- 370571 - Ability to install as a standard user on Vista is not available -
Bugs to Keep an eye on
