Hi,

I agree to most of your points but one ...

2. Strings and Numbers which check wether an UI element has exactly this caption or is at exactly this position in a list. E.g.: Filter names must stay the same unless they are changed by a new specification.


For the second group there must not be an automatic translation process by copying the strings from the OOo resources. They would then still be equal in OOo and the test script but a change will not be noticed. So these will be excluded from this process.


I would agree here, if translated strings (e.g. filter names) would be covered by a specification. But actually they are not (but maybe I am missing something). Without a spec, the "correct" string is the string that has been provided by the translator. Not because it is correct by definition but because it is the only source available.

Yes you are right, there is no spec for the translations. But nevertheless there are some strings which should be checked to make sure they did not change for whatever reason. Be it retranslation or some bug in the code which selects the wrong string or whatever.

But if I understood Jogi right these tests should be done in an extra testcase.

Gregor
