Scope of planned testing

• Cleanup of old (2.0 Branch) Download Manager Test cases for Firefox 3
• 3.0 testcases now live here!
• Cover of new Features (Anti Virus Support, Resumable Downloads)
• Testing for Regressions in Firefox 3 Download Manager with 2.0 Testcases
• Monitoring of new filed Download Manager Bugs to cover regression with tests

Platform and Configurations

• Testing with new Profiles
• Testing with Profiles with a Big Download History and a lot of files
