Manual ISO Testcases Changes

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Thanks to CarlaSella, we've gotten some much needed improvements to our 
manual iso testcases. We now cover some additional installation 
scenarios, so some new testcases have been added:

Install (manual partitioning re-using home partition)
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1470/info

Install (erase and re-install)
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1471/info

Those of you who helped last cycle might remember the bugs found that 
existed in both of these scenarios.

Additionally, you will notice that testcases are now shorter and more 
focused on the specific piece being tested, instead of testing 
everything at once. For instance, look at the auto-resize testcase:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info

No longer are you testing each of the ubiquity screens. Instead, the 
"Other Features" and other testcases have replaced this testing with a 
specific testcase that is marked as "run-once", so it is tested and 
needs verified only once for an image, saving everyone time :-) I'm 
happy to hear about more ideas to keep our testing focused and as 
efficient as possible -- no matter the testing we do. I know these 
changes have been requested in the past by wxl, and other I am not 
remembering from IRC and the forums, so thank you to all of you for this 
suggestion.

Happy Testing,

Nicholas
