Snow Leopard Test Plan

Overview

The primary goal of this QA test plan is the testing of the OS integration piece of Firefox as it relates to Snow Leopard, the latest operating system which Apple is expected to release sometime in the early fall. This is make sure that all basic existing functionality works (especially and that all newly supported functionality works (primarily support of spaces, parental controls, etc.). Note that this test plan was written primarily for the 3.5 branch, but should easily translate to Firefox next as well. Areas that need special attention and focus in Firefox 3.5 are called out in the plan in bold.

Will Not Test

Platforms and Configurations

We will test Snow Leopard on both PPC Mac and Intel Mac. We have a variety of machines that we can test on, including those with limited memory as well as robust memory.

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 Snow Leopard platform
  • 3. Ad hoc and regression testing

Functional Testing

  • We will run the Litmus Leopard specific testing suite. Eventually a modified suite may be created due to new functionality.
  • Litmus test cases will be added for any new Snow Leopard specific features that are supported.
  • We will run the Litmus Native Form Controls suite.

Stress testing/Negative Testing(depth of functionality):

Ad hoc & regression testing

The Mozilla community users may cover some of the Ad hoc testing. Regression testing will cover:

  • QA Verification of Resolved bugs
  • Daily smoketesting of builds

Gettings bugs that need attention to developers

Helpful Bug Links

Bugs to Keep an eye on

Litmus test cases added or changed

Schedule/milestones

  • Focused testing on OS integration points
  • Focused testing of Firefox
  • Creation of test cases specific to Leopard
    • As time permits

Sites that don't work in Safari but work in Firefox

Building a Community of Leopard testers
