Test cases re-writing and classification

[Gema Gomez]

Hi everyone,

I have been doing some browsing of test cases in our wiki and found
these ones:
http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/Terminal

I was trying to figure out how to classify the test cases when we get
them into Case Conductor and realized, that in this case in particular,
the test cases are wrongly classified.

Take for instance, ter-001 test case, it says it affects gnome-terminal,
and whilst I can see we are opening and closing the terminal, my
impression is that test case is targeting sudo, apt-get, ls and bash,
rather than the gnome-terminal.

I think we need to start removing this kind of test case and adding
tests that actually target the packages we are trying to test, so that
if we decide to classify test cases based on the package they are
testing, we have a clear view of those. Another alternative is to add
all the affected packages to the list, not just the main one. I
understand this was difficult with the current wiki, but in Case
Conductor we will have more flexibility to assign test cases to more
than one package.

I hope you all have a nice holiday!
Gema
