What to test?
The focus for this testday is Public pages of AMO.So,here are a few things you could check for-
- Functionality-a Feature does what it is supposed to do.
* Layout -no overlap or visibility issues
* Usability (does something not make sense? seem hard to use?)
* Security-XSS,encoding/escaping issues etc
* Error handling- System fails gracefully and displays useful and appropriate user/error messages
