MIT has indicated that the user community is largely standardized on Mozilla's Firefox v2.0 web browser in a PC or Mac environment. Rather than re-executing all tests with each browser, Questcon will execute approximately 80% of the test cases using Firefox and approximately 20% of the tests using IE 6 and 7 (both in a PC/Windows architecture). There will be some overlap in testing and touch points, but not enough to significantly impact the schedule. Questcon will analyze the test cases to identify the best candidates for execution using IE 6 and 7. IE 6 and 7 test cases will be chosen based on the amount of functionality traversed in the application. In other words Questcon will attempt to "touch" as much of the application as possible using IE 6 and 7.
Furthermore, a significant portion of the user community utilizes the Mac OS X operating system with the Safari browser. Some duplicate testing will be performed by Questcon utilizing Safari and Firefox for the Mac (10% or less). MIT should designate a group of users to execute more tests using the Safari/Mac and Firefox/Mac combination of browser and operating system. Questcon will assist the users in identifying the best tests to execute.
