It is me, again...
First of all, I want to thank Rafaella, Naoyuki, Petr, and Andrea for
granting me the necessary permissions to start working on QA, and
their recommendations.
you're welcome.
We used TCM to do our first tests, in order to familiarize ourselves
with the QA process, without problems. But we have a BIG question:
What to test?
Our current objective is to have an approved Spanish version, that
leaves the RC status. So: we have to do ALL tests? Or it suffices with
tests on realease sanity scenario? IMHO we have to focus on tests that
can assure us that the build is mostly functional and thus, could be
approved, but as we are QA beginners, we don't know which ones they
are! :-P.
on a RC build sanity scenario should be enough. A complete testing cycle
should be performed on previous builds not on RC in which it is
important to find out show stoppers 8the only ones that in this phase
might be fixed...
OTOH, there's Testtool. I've configured it, and run some tests on it.
It seems promising, but again: I don't know what to test first. My
guess is trying the script ooo_releasetests (both for win and linux).
Another doubt: how it relates with TCM? I see that Testtool performs
more tests than those on TCM, but I suppose it doesn't supersedes TCM
(things like "check that all strings are correctly translated" can't
be tested with testtool, for instance). There's a relationship between
Testtool results and TCM results?
Testtool and TCM are 2 separate tools. One for automatic testing and one
for manual testing. they are complementary and if you have time and
resources it would be great to use both tools. In case you have not ...
you can test using a mix of them, for example: use the testtool to
automatically create screenshots of the product (result is approx. 750
but they are much easier and faster to check...) and to select a couple
of scenarios....
Hope this helps,
Rafaella
I told you I will ask too many questions...
Thanks in advance,
Santiago.
