Test on a previously known broken build to make sure you can reproduce the bug.Make sure you understand the bug before you begin testing it.Review the bugs below in the Pending Triage section and select a bug you want to test.We should make decisions to either close these or tag these unactionable, and filter them out These are likely to be confusing or non-reproducible issues.If it's a Firefox bug you may want to add the firefox-backlog=? flag to it.Set the status to NEW and ensure the bug is in the appropriate component if you can reproduce the bug (provide as much detail about your testing as possible).Flag with reporter with needinfo if you cannot reproduce and need more information.Use the latest Nightly build to confirm the bug reproduces.The following tracks triage and testing of incoming, unconfirmed bug reports. Untriaged Bugs - ensure bugs are actionable and in the correct component.Top Crashes - ensure the highest ranked crashes have actionable bug reports which are in progress.Ensure new and explosive crashes have actionable bug reports which are in progress.This section tracks bugs representing the most urgent stability issues.

Use the latest build of this Firefox version and test until you've discovered the information necessary.

Read it and make sure you understand what information is needed ( this may be steps or URLs to reproduce, a regression range, or something else altogether).

Pivotal bugs may need verification during each beta cycle. A big part of this work currently is going through the test results to figure out why test failures occurred (infrastructure, tests themselves, actual Firefox bug).

We create config files for the update tests, check their validity on mciconf and run them on at least two channels for each beta release cycle. QA analyzes the results of functional, remote, and update tests running on jenkins. Communication with the release coordination, release engineering, and automation teams is key. Reference (and migration / signoff plan: )Дuring the Beta cycle, there are at least 9 beta releases.

Should have testing plans for features that we know may be turned off /on conditionally.

Track feature milestones (for example the e10s tracking flags.).

Conditional signoff for merge: (date, who signed off)Д¬ontinue triaging incoming bugs with community help.

What, if any, conditions would actually block or delay the move to aurora?.

We should encourage the use of 'feature' or verification needed keywords/flags.

Continue assigning QA contact, verification + or -?

What do we want to do with the iteration process.

(Different for startup, plugin, crashes or specific platforms)

We should decide on a threshold for 'crisis' level crash spikes/crash rates.

Each topcrash should have a developer assigned, a QA contact, and tracking + or.

e10s will be ready to move to Aurora if all bugs marked with tracking-e10s:m6+ and lower are fixed in Nightly. The earlier we can get these bug reports into shape for developers to prioritize them and work on them, the more likely they'll be fixed by release in April.Дuring the 40 Nightly cycle we will be working to help determine the state of the Electrolysis (e10s) project.

Meet the entire QA team and hear what they're working on!Дuring the 6 weeks that Firefox 40 is on the Nightly channel, QA will focus on helping with the Firefox iteration planning, as well as with crash reporting and triaging newly reported bugs.

Our current walkthrough of the release and QA process might be changing due to recent reorgs. This is intended to be a minimal set of information to help Firefox QA understand and communicate the quality of upcoming releases.
