Instructions and Sample Test Matrix for Software Testers

Test Matrix for Testers

What is to test?

Create an account and start issuing certificates on a Windows OS and different Internet Explorer and Chrome versions.

With the Internet Explorer you will have three choices for the security settings: High, Medium and Custom.

Especially the CUSTOM part needs testing.

When you use the RSA algorithm the key strength needs to be 1024. If you use a lower one you should get a warning after you try to create a certificate. For other algorithms there is no limitation.

Record your findings under Bug 964 as a note on the bug tracker site.

Additional Tests

• Add Org-Admin to a user account, test Org certificates
• Are the Server certs working as before (create a server cert in parallel to your client cert tests)
• If you'll receive an error number, place the error message to the report including your test scenario (crypto provider used, key strenght/key length used)

Happy testing
