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(s) integrate(s) correctly with the rest of the Preferences:
  • it (they) appears in the left pane as part of the tree
  • the appearance of the panel(s) is consistent visually with other Mozilla preference 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
