tl;dr Starting with the Firefox 57 release, test plans will require sign-off from Engineering, Product and QA before testing begins. Engineering, Product, and QA each have unique insights into risks associated with feature development. We have the best chance of success when we have a diverse set of feedback on our plans. For QA, we need that feedback early while there is time to adjust our test plans. The intention is to avoid last-minute surprises and misunderstandings about test scope that has at times been problematic when reporting test results. In order to ensure QA receives the feedback they need, we are adding a sign-off requirement. What we’re really asking is that you take an active role in the quality assurance of your work by taking time to read the test plan and provide feedback. Three points related to sign-offs: 1. Granting a sign-off means: - High level testing objectives and testing scope are understood - Contents of ‘Risk Assessment and Coverage’ and ‘Test Areas’ meet your expectations 2. Sign-off is expected 1 week after it is requested. (Should typically be near the beginning of the Nightly cycle.) 3. Sign-offs will be captured in each QA test plan as shown in the QA Test Plan Template <https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Test_Plan_Template>. Thanks for your commitment to the quality of Firefox. Lawrence
