[Miyayes]

[LaurenWags]

Per discussion with @btlechowski @GeetaSarvadnya marking this one as QA/Test-All-Platforms and QA/Test-All-Device-Types:

The plan for testing is as follows:

• @GeetaSarvadnya @Uni-verse @vlad-hoff to test on ARM phone and tablet
• @btlechowski to generally test ads on Android

Upgrade profile case (view counts and ad settings) - PASSED

Note: Main things to worry about are turning on ads for someone who had them off in previous version.

1. Create profile prior to existence of Manage Brave Ads (where it still has Brave Private Ads section).
2. Enable Rewards, and see some New Tab Page ads and some push notification ads.
3. Disable New Tab Page ads via Settings->New tab page
4. Set max ads frequency to 0 in Brave Private Ads (this corresponds to push notification ads)
5. Upgrade to version with Manage Brave Ads and make sure Manage Brave Ads is there.
6. Check that Notification Ads are toggled OFF in Manage Brave Ads, given that ads frequency was set to 0 in step 3. (There is no more “ads frequency = 0 / none” option in the notification ads dropdown) ---> FAILED, logged follow up issue Notification ads incorrectly enabled on upgrade when None/zero ads per hour set on previous version - Follow up to 30637 #32651.
7. Check that New Tab Page ads are OFF, given that they were turned off in step 2.
8. Check that breakdown of ad views per ad unit in Manage Brave Ads makes sense with how many ads you saw in step 2.

**1.57.x **	1.57.x	1.57.x

1.58.x	1.58.x

24. Re-enable New Tab Page ads and notification ads via toggles in Manage Brave Ads, and make sure that everything works, and that the New Tab Page ads toggle in Manage Brave Ads corresponds with the toggle in Customize Dashboard.

• Confirmed that new tab page ads are served in an upgraded profile after enabling the new tab page ads switch via Manage Brave Ads page
• Confirmed that notification ads are served in an upgraded profile after changing "None" to a different value in the list:

2023-09-08 14:18:29.780 9485-9485/? V/chromium: [VERBOSE1:notification_ad_serving.cc(136)] Maximum notification ads per hour changed to 10

1.58.x	1.58.x	1.58.x

Reset Rewards case - PASSED

1. Create new profile and go to brave://rewards > Manage Brave Ads
2. Toggle off New tab page ads and Notification ads in Manage Brave Ads
3. Reset Rewards profile
4. Ensure that the new Rewards profile has New tab page ads OFF, and notification ads ON
