Summary
Migrating all test cases to testcases.qa.ubuntu.com, adding useful macros and making sure all relevant teams are using the new facility.
Rationale
This should cover the _why_: why is this change being proposed, what justifies it, where we see this justified.
Use Cases
Assumptions
Design
You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.
Implementation
This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like:
UI Changes
Should cover changes required to the UI, or specific UI that is required to implement this
Code Changes
Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.
Migration
Include:
- data migration, if any
- redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any
- how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary.
Test/Demo Plan
It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during testing, and to show off after release. Please add an entry to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Coverage/NewFeatures for tracking test coverage.
This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.
Unresolved issues
This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.
BoF agenda and discussion
Testcases in wiki.ubuntu.com: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases
New testcases specific wiki at http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com
- Syntax of testcases - Way to add attached documents or additional files to the test case.
- https://testcases.qa.ubuntu/Distro/Applications/Application seems a natural way to order the wiki - We could have a macro that pulls the correct screenshots for a test cases depending on the distributuion:
- i.e. We cave testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Applications/Gedit, but when called from /Xubuntu/Applications/Gedit it will contain Xubuntu screenshots if available.
- Syntax of the track number - Right now is going u-ff-001 (u for ubuntu, ff for the app (in this case firefox), and 3 number for the test case numbers) - Change that to ff-001 (2 letters for the application and 3 numbers for the test case number)
- How to use macros to encourage people to contribute in a easier
OEM/UNR Testcase format example: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix
How to track test cases run?
- - Chris maintains a table with results and then use a python script to parse it and convert it if necessary. - [Chris] We need to use testcases.qa.ubuntu.com to track results of tests. Maybe with macros. (in a ISO tracker manner) - ISO tracker and testcases.qa.ubuntu.com communication
Are testcases wiki tasks handled in LP? Do we have a project to file bugs?
- - Dave to set up a LP project to file bugs and have the code in bzr
Meta Data for case suite creation - Meta codes for each case:
- - Distro(s) - Version(s)
Code format - ff-001 = Ubuntu Jaunty, Firefox, Case 1
