B2G Contacts API Test Plan

Summary

Scope

This test plan covers functional testing of the Contacts API as delivered for Boot2Gecko.

Strategy

Most Contact tests can be added to Mochitest, and a test app should be created to verify the API on-device.

API

Contacts API is part of the nsIDOMNavigator interface, when the "dom.mozContacts.enabled" preference is set to true.

nsIDOMNavigator (subset)

Attributes

The API is mentioned here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/ContactsAPI#Proposed_API

There is an object in window.navigator named mozContacts with the following interface: interface nsIDOMContactManager : nsISupports {

 nsIDOMDOMRequest find(in nsIDOMContactFindOptions options);
 nsIDOMDOMRequest clear();
 nsIDOMDOMRequest save(in nsIDOMContact contact);
 nsIDOMDOMRequest remove(in nsIDOMContact contact);
 nsIDOMDOMRequest getSimContacts(in DOMString type);
 attribute nsIDOMEventListener oncontactchange;

};

interface nsIDOMContact : nsIDOMContactProperties {

 attribute DOMString id;
 readonly attribute jsval     published;
 readonly attribute jsval     updated;

 void init(in nsIDOMContactProperties properties);  // Workaround BUG 723206

};

interface nsIDOMContactFindOptions : nsISupports {

 attribute DOMString filterValue;  // e.g. "Tom"
 attribute DOMString filterOp;     // e.g. "contains"
 attribute jsval filterBy;         // DOMString[], e.g. ["givenName", "nickname"]
 attribute DOMString sortBy;       // "givenName" or "familyName"
 attribute DOMString sortOrder;    // e.g. "descending"
 attribute unsigned long filterLimit;

};

Tests

Marionette/JS

• Importing of contacts from the SIM card. See also bug 758457

mochitest-plain

• Existing tests: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/contacts/tests/
• More tests needed for various input validations. For example pass arrays into the API instead of singe strings
• Tests needed for the find function
• Tests needed for the oncontactChange event

Sanity Tests

• See mochitests

Basic Negative Tests

• Not implemented yet.

Test App Design

• Not implemented yet.
  • Note that there is a Contacts app from inside Gaia with an import contacts feature in it.
