Stress Testing Regression Testing 5. Other Tools 6. Component Description Sidebar provides a place within Netscape's web client software for users to keep connected to what is most important to them. It is a standalone within the browser window and has a variety of tabs for quick access to data. Tabs are like regular web pages in that they are built on HTML and other web standards.
Users can easily add and customize Sidebar tabs.
Any web site content can be delivered as a tab, enabling one to leverage the existing web content. Testing for Sidebar must be conducted on Windows95, Windows 98, Windows NT, MacOS8.6, and Linux 2.0. Since Sidebar is UI intensive, it will also be tested on a variety of screen resolutions down to 800x600. Testing of Sidebar embedded in other products like Mail, Composer and AIM will be seperate to this testing and groups responsible for those products should test the Sidebar as a component of their testing. Themes testing will basically cover only the very basic things about the Sidebar.
