Id like you to address the question of the role testtool has within TCM and the question of an update to the (l10n) Testtool environment. Given the fact that testtool is part of Release sanity test and also a number of other test scenarios, one can not simply think it away. Otoh I have yet to find somebody among 136 testers who has passed (or failed) any entries involving testtool. My opinion: striking it out test cases would mean lowering qa standards. Otoh keeping it in would involve first some more effort, before the tool gets out to the community - right now I have my doubts about it. I am spending more time on adjusting testtool to my local conditions than on testing 2.1. jsi is away on holidays etc...In any case a policy statement would be welcome.
Vito, I think one reason we don't enter the testtool results into TCM is that it's a back-step in the QA process. We go through the TCM tests, do all of them except testtool, know we have to do that to finish up, then do it. But it's not actually necessary to go back and mark the results into TCM to move on.
There's so much to do, I think going back to TCM to mark in the testtool results just falls off the list.
