Overview

Purpose

The purpose of this work is adding support for stronger hash algorithms for signing a certificate to the update. It uses SHA384 algorithm with key size of 4096 bits.

Scope

• Testing will focus on:

Stability of the browser with this work.

Whether browser update is applied or not

If SHA384 support is applied to update

If SHA384 support has key size of 4096 bits

• How testing will be performed:

Mobile devices are not affected by this work so this testing does not include them

Requirements for testing

Environments

Windows 10 64bits
Windows 7 32bits
Ubuntu 16.04 32 and 64bits
MacOSX 10.12

Channel dependent settings (configs) and environment setups

Nightly

Firefox Nightly 56.0a1, Test environment setting is provided here
This patch was pushed to Mozilla-central on 7-31-2017, so all older Nightly should update through this update watershed.

Beta

Beta 56.0b3, Test environment setting is provided here
Feature was backed out Bug 1387231 so the new update watershed of beta will be 56b3.
To test on 56b3, the next beta build (56b4) should be avialable as this is an update related work.

Test Strategy

Risk Assessment and Coverage

ID	Description / Threat Description	Covered by Test Objective	Magnitude	Probability	Priority	Impact Score
RAC-1	Update may not be applied to the browser	TO-1	3-High	2-Possible	3-High	18
RAC-2	Update may not be applied successfully if the browser has add-on	TO-2	3-High	2-Possible	3-High	18
RAC-3	SHA384 support may not be applied	TO-3	3-High	1-Unlikely	3-High	9
RAC-4	SHA384 key size of 4096 bits may not be applied	TO-4	2-Moderate	1-Unlikely	3-High	6
RAC-5	May behave differently if update download is interrupted by no internet connection	TO-5	2-Moderate	1-Unlikely	2-Medium	4
RAC-6	May behave differently in different operating systems	TO-6	2-Moderate	1-Unlikely	2-Medium	4

Values:

• Magnitude: 1- Low , 2-Moderate, 3-High

• Probability: 1-Unlikely, 2-Possible, 3-Almost Certain

• Priority: 1 - Low, 2-Medium, 3-High

Impact Score Breakdown:

• An impact value of 1, 2, 3, 4 would describe an area which although should be covered there aren't expected any discoveries of critical issues.
• An impact value of 6, 8, 9, 12 would describe an area in which we expect to find issues but those issues are not expected to be critical.
• An impact value of 18 or 27 would describe an area on which it is likely to find issues and those issues to be critical or blockers.

Test Objectives

Ref	Function	Test Objective	Evaluation Criteria	Test Type	RAC	Owners
1	Update the browser	Browser should update to its latest build	update the browser	Manual	RAC-1,RAC-2,RAC-5,RAC-6	Eng Team
2	Check if SHA384 support is applied	SHA384 support should be applied to update	Check if SHA384 support is applied. steps are here	Manual	RAC-3	Eng Team
3	Check if SHA384 support has 4096 key size	Key size of 4096 bits should be used for the SHA384 support	Check if key size is 4096 bits. steps are here	Manual	RAC-4	Eng Team

Builds

This section should contain links for builds with the feature -

• Links for Nightly build: Nightly build
• Links for Beta build: use beta build later than 56b3

Criteria

Checklist

• All test cases should be executed
• Has sufficient automated test coverage (as measured by code coverage tools) - coordinate with RelMan
• All blockers, criticals must be fixed and verified or have an agreed-upon timeline for being fixed (as determined by engineering/RelMan/QA)

Results

Nightly testing
List of OSes that will be covered by testing: see 'Environments' section

• Links:
  • Full Test suite
    
  • Runs and Results
    
  • Daily Smoke -not applicable to the pre-beta test cycle as the test build was landed on the last day of the pre-beta sign off
    
  • Regression Test suite, No regression bugs were found
    

Preliminary status report on Beta
Preliminary status report analysis shows that updating from Firefox 55.0bX, updates first to 56.0b3 and then to latest beta available on the channel. Also, update.mar files are correct and have the right format. Preliminary recommendation is to "ship it".

Pre-Release Sign-off - GREEN 2017-09-06
