Community Testday: Firefox 3 Beta 5, Friday April 4th, 2008 - Password Manager
Juan Becerra
It's time to revisit Password Manager in Firefox 3! Join us Friday,
April 4th, 2008 in #testday on IRC from 7am - 5pm PDT. Here is how you
can help us:
1. Install Firefox 3 Beta 5 and help us go through the password
manager test cases in the full functional test suite: Password Manager Tests
2. Verify that basic functionality works as expected.
3. Let's use different types of sites that require login
credentials. Note: some sites do not allow password auto-completion.
4. Provide us with your feedback and any testing updates by leaving
a comment on this event post! It's the easiest way to collect
information about this Test Day, so don't be afraid to say hello and
tell us how your day went.
We are on the road to RC1, so there is plenty to test! If you want to
help us test Password Manager, great! But if you really want to be
adventurous, go grab a few new ones and try them out!
How to prepare for Test Day:
* Download the latest Firefox 3 Beta or grab a Firefox Nightly Build
* Save your profile data! You should either back up your profile
or use the profile manager to create a new profile for testing.
* Get the new Mozilla QA Companion! It's the easiest way to run
test cases, search for bugs, and get connected on IRC... so it's the
perfect tool for Test Days!
Getting started on Test Day:
First join us in #testday on irc.mozilla.org so you can chat with the
Mozilla QA team and community. There are always people in the channel
to meet, work with, and get help from.
Then choose one or more of the following things to do:
* Run various test cases on Litmus! Ask for help in the #testday
channel if you're not familiar with Litmus. If a testcase is terribly
unclear, mark it as such. When you have questions about using Litmus,
please ask the moderators in the testday channel or see the Litmus tutorial.
* When you have time and interest in writing testcases, please ping
Marcia and/or Tomcat in the #testday channel. We have also a short
documentation how to write testcases for litmus.
