Firefox 3.5 RC 1 Test Day!!!
Tuesday May 19, 2009 @ 10:29 - aakashd
MozQA is holding a Testday for the rollout of Firefox 3.5 RC 1 which is as close to a release as possible! I don't need to remind everyone of how important this phase is, so we're going to need your awesome testing skills to make sure its as polished as possible. Our community representatives will be available through IRC Chat ( channel #testday on irc://irc.mozilla.org ), QMO forums as well as the dev-quality newsgroup to help with any of your questions/comments/suggestions.
How do I get ready?
Note: We will add the links to the Candidate Builds here as soon as they come available.
1. Download the build!
Or, if you want to download the build externally, go ahead and get it from our nightly build ftp server
2. Start Testing! Results on litmus can be found at this link.
This is what we're doing...
Mozilla QA needs your help with Firefox 3.5 RC 1 Test Day!
Here's some of the ways you can help test:
- Go to Litmus and run the a set of smoketests or BFTS against RC 1. File any bugs you find in Bugzilla. If you do create any bugs, remember to add "[3.5testday]" to the front of the summary
- Verify already fixed bugs using this Bugzilla query.
- Perform Exploratory Tests on many of the newly implemented features such as: Private Browsing, Clear Recent History, <video> and <audio> elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript queryselectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications. More info on this is located here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Firefox3.5/TestPlan/Beta4#Additional_Resource_Testing

yea. I feel your pain, zipper306. No FF 3.5 RC1 candidate builds are available at the moment.
The "boo birds" are out and the crowd is BOOing at Mozilla for not posting any FF 3.5 RC1 candidate builds on supposedly FF 3.5 RC1 Test Day. Boooooooo! BOOOOOOOO!

Testday WILL take place this Friday.
We are going to use the nightlies if the RC1 is not ready by then.

No FF 3.5 RC1 candidate builds yet
It's May 28 in the west coast and there are no Firefox 3.5 RC1 candidate builds posted. It looks like the "Firefox 3.5 RC1 Test Day" will NOT take place on May 29 and will have to be pushed back into June.

The testday is still on for MAY 29TH!
Even though RC1 hasn't been released yet, the testday will still go on with the latest nightlies which are practically RC1 minus some minor uplifts. Reminders for the testday will be sent out later today.

Test day starting w/out the RC1 candidate builds, DISAPPOINTING!
BARELY UNACCEPTABLE! At least one RC1 candidate build SHOULD have been ready by now but there are none posted. Guess we'll have to use the latest nightly builds of FF 3.5b5pre. disappointing!!!
