Hi <dogma> You shall not have different sources for information! (Especially
for something as time consuming as test descriptions and test results.) </dogma> From our experience one has to make a decision: use a tool to
describe test cases for consumption by human testers or design automated tests
for consumption by a test tool. If you try to do both you will end up with transferring
requirements from one database to the other and results/modifications vice
versa (just like UML diagrams and source code if not tightly integrated) . The
two repositories will invariably drift apart. I have to admit that GUIdancer is not the best tool to describe
test cases for humans (documentation support is planned for next year) but it’s
doable. Therefore I wouldn’t introduce another tool for test tracking. Achim From:

- please nix this up front if there is no chance, otherwise we will make an
initial evaluation.] Yahya brought up the subject of Testopia last week at the
team meeting but I have not had the chance to take a look at it until this
evening. I for one misunderstood what is used for. It is not a
testing tool, but a test tracking system from Mozilla. From the website:
It looks as if it may be a useful addition to our testing
toolkit, but the problem is that it requires patching Bugzilla. Achim/B. if you
want to take a very quick look at it and if you come up with a positive
verdict, I can ask the EF Web Masters to consider making it available. As that
is a long shot, I would not spend a lot of time up front. Joel This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange. For more information, connect to http://www.f-secure.com/ |
