Plug-ins Testing Verification Check-list


Platforms:
Plug-in Groups:
PG#1: win95/win98/SE/ME
PG#2: winNT/win2K/winXP
PG#3: macOS9 & macOSX
PG#4: linux

Directions:
For each patch you will need to ensure that the following table is completed (either by you, Shrir, Beth, outside testers, other engineers -- as long as each plug-in is tested on all platforms). For each Plug-in Group, only one of the plug-in group platforms need to be tested for windows. For the mac, both OS9 and OSX need to be tested. If the plug-in is not available on the platform, then enter n/a. As discussed, if this is a byte range change, then special testing parameters must take place, those special changes must be recorded in the bug.

Testing Steps:
  1. pick a platform to test from the PG#1 group
  2. verify you have the appropriate plug-in version installed, if you do not then upgrade
  3. verify the plug-in is in the appropriate location
  4. access the smoketest page and navigate to the plug-ins test section
  5. run the tests Adobe, Flash, Quicktime and RealPlayer: note the testing results in the form
    If the test passes, enter "Pass." If the test failed, enter "Fail" and a brief explanation of the failure. If the application crashes, enter "CRASH"
  6. repeat steps 1 through 5 for each Platform Group
  7. pick a platform to test from the PG#1 group
  8. access the basic functional test page
  9. run the tests for each plug-in: note the testing results in the form
    If the test passes, enter "Pass." If the test failed, enter "Fail" and a brief explanation of the failure. If the application crashes, enter "CRASH"
  10. for each vendor test suite, test the appropriate plug-in, i.e. the Adobe test suite should be used with Acrobat. This step only needs to be done for the plug-in that is being fixed in the bug. A global change would require all plug-in vendor tests to be verified.

    Byte range changes require a more advanced set of testing.
