Does the plan I've posted [1] for Package testing sound about right? Would you expect us to be testing more? Testing less? Calling for testing on the Optional packages again - there are a lot? </blockquote> Sounds about right to me. <blockquote cite="mid:537BB016.8010505@btinternet.com" type="cite"> For those of you who've heard of Trello - would you want to be able to see what we do there? It is dry and mostly a list? </blockquote> Yeah, I like it and use it in my day job too. <blockquote cite="mid:537BB016.8010505@btinternet.com" type="cite"> Ideas on changes to testcases ? You've been reading and using them for almost 2 cycles now. </blockquote> I think for the most part they've been tweaked pretty well and cover most of what needs to be tested without going overboard. The only suggestion I would have for improvement would be a minor one about the formatting. There doesn't appear to be a standardized convention for differentiating between menu choices, buttons and check boxes and keyboard input required from the tester, etc. Maybe the xml format is too limited for making things better, but it can be hard to follow some of the testcases at a glance. <blockquote cite="mid:537BB016.8010505@btinternet.com" type="cite"> Ideas for new testcases? </blockquote> No, I think you've got it covered. <blockquote cite="mid:537BB016.8010505@btinternet.com" type="cite"> Thoughts on where we can improve? We tend not to call for image testing until there is a milestone? Would you test that more often if we asked? Happy to do that when you get the time without the distraction of yet another mail from me? </blockquote> I think you can stick with just the milestones. Just speaking for myself, but I tend to do fairly regular installs of the dailies anyway for various reasons and any time I happen to do one, I'll report the results. <blockquote cite="mid:537BB016.8010505@btinternet.com" type="cite"> Think outside the box - especially if the sun is out, there might be just the thing for us sitting there waiting to be thought of. regards Elfy [1] <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010156.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010156.html</a> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Ubuntu Forum Council Member Xubuntu QA Lead</pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </body> </html>
