The team which worked out the specification process know that the specifications are not in the highest quality now. This is a learning process for each member on the specification (User Experience, Development, Quality Assurance and Documentation). So each team makes errors know. But the errors are lower than without having a process, like in OOo 1.1.x time frame.
problems understanding what -exactly- QA need here. It'd help to have 10 representative examples of times when a specification has actually helped distinguish between bugs & features, and what was done with that information [ writing tests / whatever ].
You can take nearly each of the new specifications and the corresponding CWS. You will see, that very often bugs were written after the CWS go
into the QA for the first time. Thorsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
