So we should ask the maintainers to add those tooltips :) and review the help page on the wiki to add explanations. > > Also, as far as I understood, I can assign the same test for the same > tester to perform multiple times – it only depends on the assignment ID. > I find this ineffective.

What I find not good is that we can't compare the tests between a RC cycle, if you have done tests on RC1, you have to delete the results for the next RC2. And here's a real world situation: I didn't notice > the Release Sanity scenario existed, so I assigned each one of my > testers 45 tests (Product(OpenOffice.org - Office Suites(3.0))) instead > of 28 (Scenario(Release sanity scenario)). We pass those tests only on the l10n versions that are provided at development stage, for RC we only run a set of minimal tests.

I fear that if we make them more accessible, users will download them without noticing that they are untested. This is why we need to communicate with each other about those tests and make more versions available in final not in RC. Again, thanks a lot for your feedback.
