<div dir="ltr">Hi Steven<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the comments.</div><div><br></div><div>Your suggestion does address both points, and yes, I believe that better integration would be beneficial. But I see the wiki as the resource and the tracker as its consumer, so I actually like the content separation. After all, the ISO tracker may be not the only "customer" of test descriptions. What I would like though is to have the option to update a result of each subtest I perform separately.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, I believe it would be better to see the instructions directly on the test page in tracker, and not having to use the separate link.</div><div><br></div><div>And the last thing: for example, on the page [1], there are two absolutely same links: one is called "Live session" and its icon is a page with a ranch key (what that should mean by the way?) and the second is "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><b><a href="http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopLiveSession" style="text-decoration: none; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Additional instructions are available for this testcase, click here to read them.</font></a>", </b>just below<b>. </b>What is the point to have them both? I think one of them definitely should be removed.</span></div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I second this, on both items.<div><br></div><div>1) There are multiple tests per test case, i.e. the Live Session test case has three sub-tests, each of which can be passed or failed (Live Session Start, Live Session Finish, and Live Session Persistence). These sub-tests should be passable or failable, not the umbrella Live Session test, in case one is passed and another is failed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) "Additional instructions are available for this testcase, click here to read them." makes it sound like it's optional to read how to perform the tests. "Additional" should be removed. How can we provide consistent result reports if people might not be following the same procedures?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Ideally <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">iso.qa.ubuntu.com</a> and <a href="http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">testcases.qa.ubuntu.com</a> should be integrated, such that clicking "Live Session" on <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">iso.qa.ubuntu.com</a> opens another list of testcases from <a href="http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">testcases.qa.ubuntu.com</a>, and clicking on these gives the instructions from <a href="http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">testcases.qa.ubuntu.com</a> along with the Reporter/Last Update/Bugs/Comments table from <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">iso.qa.ubuntu.com</a> below it, and the user's report below that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Basically instead of just having "Ubuntu Desktop i386 -> Live Session", it should be "Ubuntu Desktop i386 -> Live Session -> Live Session Start".</div><div>
<br></div><div>This seems like an efficient solution to your points, Alex. What do you think about it? Anyone else have any comments about this structure?</div><div><br></div><div>-Steven</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div dir="ltr">Hello QA crowd<div><br></div><div>I had a couple suggestions for ISO tracker:</div><div><br></div><div>1. I noticed there are few tests that include multiple different checks. For example, within one test in server ISO testing there are 2 KVM installations, 1 VMWare ESX installation and 1 VMWare server installation. While being similar they are different, and having run one check (VMWARE ESX - the only system I have) I still cannot provide my results as not all checks are finished, so the test is not completed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I suggest splitting such complex tests into smaller tests, so each of them could be tested on its own.</div><div><br></div><div>2. It is not really convenient to open the test, and see there nothing to do. As an experienced user I noticed the link to wiki pages, which, of course, have the test steps and the success criteria. But I believe it would be more obvious and convenient to have all steps directly available within the test page.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This, of course, requires development, and that's why I asked if redesign is planned in a near future.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll be happy for any comments.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Alex Lourie<br>
