Strategy
- Testing the lifecycle of a packaged app (i.e. install, uninstall, launch)
- Testing the content and permissions of a packaged app
Edge Cases
Many of the edge cases in hosted apps are applicable here. The specialized areas are:
- Reinstalling a packaged app with different app contents
- Missing content in the packaged app
Signoff Criteria
- All basecamp blockers are closed
- All smoke tests and basic functional tests are ran without finding any basecamp blockers
Infrastructure
- Will utilize the marketplace development server to host zip files to be installed on to the Firefox OS device
Test Cases and Results
See the Gaia System Test Log under "Apps" in the packaged apps section to find test cases in relation to packaged apps.
Test Coverage Needed
The following areas will need test coverage, are currently not covered by existing test cases, and are classified as basecamp blocker level:
- Trusted apps in general
- Appcache preloading
- Off-origin navigation from a packaged app
- Navigation within the web app vs. switching to the browser
- Permissions management within a packaged app context
- Reviewing and editing packaged app permissions on device
- Clearing app cache data for a packaged app
Open Questions
- How does off-origin navigation work within a packaged app?
- How does navigation in the web app vs. switching to the browser work in a packaged app?
