Writing manual tests

[Shrinivasan T]

Friends.

This is Shrini from chennai.

I am exploring the manual test cases.

I have few queries.

1. There are tons of applications for ubuntu. Do we need to write test
cases for all?

or just for the applications reported here.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-tests/+bugs?field.tag=todo


2. For any desktop application, we can write hundreds of test case.
How many test cases we have to write?
Is it okey of we write for major features only?

3. Why do we write manual test cases? Do we have people for doing these
written manual tests before every release? are we doing all the manual
tests for every release?

4. I am in ubuntu 12.04. Do I need to upgrade to latest development version
of ubuntu to write manual test cases?

5. We add a number before each test case.

example: 1414_Deja-Dup
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/view/head:/testcases/packages/1414_Deja-Dup>
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase/ubuntu-manual-tests/trunk/files/head:/testcases/packages/

What are the numbers?
How to add a new number for a new test case?


Thanks a lot.
