Details

Describe the steps for manual QA for verifying that a late beta/release candidate build of Firefox sends pre-release telemetry.

A late beta/release candidate build has the build-time update channel set to "release" and the run-time update channel to "beta".

Blocks: 1546926

Prerequisites:

  • Firefox Desktop RC build
  • Firefox RC profile

Test scenario:

  • Start Firefox RC build withe the RC profile
  • Navigate to about:telemetry
  • The page is expected to contain the following text

Telemetry is collecting pre-release data and upload is enabled.

Hi Krupa, can you please ask the QA team to add the above test to their RC test plan?

Added test case in new suite.

After a discussion with Raphael on Slack, we've updated the TC scenario:

  • Start Firefox RC build withe the RC profile;
  • Swap the app.update.channel to "beta" after starting the RC build and performing a browser restart so the string gets updated;
  • Perform a browser update;
  • Navigate to about:telemetry;
  • The page is expected to contain the following text: "Telemetry is collecting pre-release data and upload is enabled."

*For good measure we're checking the string is updated even after the browser update.
