I wanted to re-highlight the work we're doing to prep for alpha2 and beyond. The manual test cases currently found in the wiki as you all know are a bit old and in many cases poorly written. We want to update them and make sure they meet the standards of what makes a good test case. To that end I started going thru the google doc and reviewing what was in there. In addition I documented the process for myself that everyone was following. I made one addition, to migrate the completed testcases to the "completed test cases" tab in gdocs. Eventually we'll be rid of the gdoc completely but in the interim it will be helpful I think to retain these. So, here's what I came up with: Steps for converting an existing testcase from the wiki to the new template: 1. Extract the testcase from the wiki 2. Update the testcase to follow new template (see template here: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/TestCase">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/TestCase</a>) 3. Insert the testcase into the google spreadsheet: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgtV30nnv18edFQzNVB4S2duOWNOT05zaHo3S0pNekE&authkey=CMTAtuoI&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgtV30nnv18edFQzNVB4S2duOWNOT05zaHo3S0pNekE&authkey=CMTAtuoI&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0</a> 4. Post to the mailing list asking it to be reviewed 5. Community reviews, signs off 6. Move the testcase to the 'completed test cases' tab in the gdoc, and place updated version back into the wiki Steps for creating a new testcase 1. Check wiki for duplicates 2. Generate a unique testid for the the test following the format TC-APP-### 3. Create the testcase to follow new template (see template here: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/TestCase">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/TestCase</a>) 4. Insert the testcase into the google spreadsheet: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgtV30nnv18edFQzNVB4S2duOWNOT05zaHo3S0pNekE&authkey=CMTAtuoI&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgtV30nnv18edFQzNVB4S2duOWNOT05zaHo3S0pNekE&authkey=CMTAtuoI&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0</a> 5. Post to the mailing list asking it to be reviewed 6. Community reviews, signs off 7. Move the testcase to the 'completed test cases' tab in the gdoc, and create the testcase in the wiki In order to keep this post short and on-topic I'll send a second post with my reviewed cases. Thanks, Nicholas </body> </html>
