Testing

This page will list the tests which need to be done before the release of Annozilla. (Like any software engineer, I write the tests last.)

Here's a rough framework:

1. Mozilla Integration

1.1 Successful installation

• From a clean Mozilla installation, Annozilla can be installed by following the installation instructions
• From a new Mozilla user profile, Annozilla can be installed by following the installation instructions

1.2 Sidebar appearance

• The Annozilla Sidebar appears correctly on the list of available Sidebars

1.3 Preferences panel

• The Annozilla preferences panel integrates correctly with the rest of the Preferences:
  • it appears in the left pane as part of the tree
  • the appearance of the panel is consistent visually with other Mozilla Greference panels
• The Password field does not display the password as readable text
• All preference values can be changed, and changes are preserved:
  • when moving between preferences panels
  • when closing and re-opening the preferences window
  • when shutting down and restarting Mozilla

1.4 Preference tracking

2. Viewing annotations

2.1 Displaying a list of annotations

2.2 'Filter by language' functionality

2.3 'Auto-load' mode

2.4 Viewing annotation bodies

3. Creating/Editing annotations

3.1 Posting annotation test

3.2 Change annotation type [future]

3.3 Edit annotation text [future[

3.4 Delete annotation [future]

4. Error conditions

4.1 No internet connection

4.2 Password is wrong

• When the user's password is wrong, a suitable error text is provided
