Welcome to OOo Quality Assurance

testautomation is used onOOO300-Branch and DEV300-Branch starting with
m29. All prior branches are using qatesttool
So if you want to run tests on OOo 3.x please use module testautomation.

Depends - you can use both ways to check your results of automated
tests. When reading the resultfiles in testtool you have to open each
resultfile one by one whereas In QUASTe it is easier and faster to check
because the results are summarized and the results are shared and can be
viewed by others. For a deeper look on testresults and debugging it is
always better to check the resultfiles in testtool directly.

Currently tests run on base of 'category model' See following wiki page
for definition:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/QUASTe#Category_model
Screnshots are made to help translation to find out non-translated parts
on dialogs and so on

>From my experience the best way to start is running some automated tests
first to get some feeling how they work and what to do if something
fails. Get friendly with the already written code and start debugging in
case of errors. Of course reading documentation on how it works is also
important. Chum up with testtool and tooling around testtool (QUASTe,
scripts and so on)

Hope this helps...
