> > What is Synergy and what are the test specifications? > Let me start with the second part of the question. The test specs contain test cases that are executed by manual testers to verify functionality. These test specs have been compiled by many different people over the years. The test specs did live on the wiki until Synergy was created. Here is a sample of one such a test spec in Synergy:
http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/index.html#/title/%255Bapi_support%255D_sanity_test_specification_for_netbeans_api_support_functionality/ Synergy is the test management tool that allows us to store multiple revisions of the test specs for the different versions of the IDE. Also to record issues with test specs so that they can be fixed. And to create test runs, where manual testers are assigned (or volunteer for) tests to execute. Synergy also allows the testers to record test results. Here is an example of a past test run (note that this run also contain tutorial reviews): http://services.netbeans.org/synergy/client/app/index.html#/run/24/v/2 ~ Hermien
