Shane this was discussed on irc but this is for the benefit of those who
didn't see it:

1/ When naming an application ensure the case sensitivity remains
constant, i.e. Software Center should never then be named software
center,  This makes the testcase more readable.

2/ When telling a user to do something, i.e. click on the install
button, surround it with ('''), like this -> '''Do this''', this will
bold the bits the user need to do and make them stand out more.  (this
can also be done with application names to help them stand out too)  For
examples of this look at
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/Nautilus

3/ When naming an app in a menu ensure you type in the name as seen in
the menu, other wise people might think that there is a second entry
missing.  (Picture telling your nan what to click on you would say the
whole thing not an abbreviated version of it).

Remember that if these testcases are translated it will help there as
the translation will then be as seen on the users system.

I think that was everything but feel free to fire off any questions.
