169954 - Smoketests need to include Typeahead find testing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 170561

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

In my opinion, the smoketest page needs to be updated to include a simple test
to be sure typeahead find works.

I'm not the one to make this decision.  But I will look into it.
Let me ask this: If autofill doesn't work, would that failure be cause to keep 
the tree closed?

Asa, Aaron, what do you think?

Items added to smoketests have to get by-in from development that the sheriffs
will hold the tree closed to all check-ins if a smoketest fails.   Normally an
item in the smoketest covers a major component which prevents further testing. 
Also, we want to keep smoketests to a manageable number that can be completed in
a timely fashion.

I don't think other development needs to get held up when there's a problem with
type ahead find. But I do think we need to come up with a test plan for
typeaheadfind sometime in the next month.

if i have time, i can prolly whip up a quick test outline for type ahead find.
filed bug 170561.

my own $0.02: i really don't think this feature should be part of the smoketests.

Hmm, all right then =) I guess, as long a test exists somewhere, it's all good.
I only knew about the smoketests -- wasn't sure that another set even existed.

As long as no one else objects...
