As per process, QA runs through the following cases to ensure that the major chromium bump that's about to get merged into master doesn't regress the Nightly channel. Once the major chromium bump is merged into master, QA will run through a full manual pass on Windows & Android.

Startup & Components

  • Verify that Brave is only contacting *.brave.com endpoints on first launch using either Charles Proxy, Fiddler, Wireshark or LittleSnitch (or a similar application)
    • Verify that opening a NTP doesn't trigger any outbound connections related to widgets without user interaction
  • Remove the following component folders and ensure that they're being re-downloaded after restarting the browser:
    • afalakplffnnnlkncjhbmahjfjhmlkal: AutoplayWhitelist.dat, ExtensionWhitelist.dat, ReferrerWhitelist.json and Greaselion.json
    • CertificateRevocation
    • gccbbckogglekeggclmmekihdgdpdgoe: (Sponsored New Tab Images)
    • gkboaolpopklhgplhaaiboijnklogmbc: Brave Ad Block List Catalog
    • iodkpdagapdfkphljnddpjlldadblomo: Brave Ad Block Updater
    • mfddibmblmbccpadfndgakiopmmhebop: Brave Ad Block List Catalog
    • Safe Browsing
  • Restart the browser, load brave://components, wait for 8 mins and verify that no component shows any errors

Note: Always double check brave://components to make sure there's no errors/missing version numbers
