Hi all,
Recently, I'm thinking about how testing work should be done and what the
procedure should followed under Apache OO structure. Before OO goes into
ASF, testing work was controlled by QUASTe and manual test cases stored in
TCM but both tools were disconnected once Oracle donated OO to Apache. Now,
it's time for us to think about how can we move on for testing.
While within AOO 3.4, we store the manual scripts in wiki page, it's good
place at this time, but should not be permanent. As it's hard to tell test
status and collect testing data, also it has no connection with automation
test tool.
I wonder if Bugzilla would be better than the wiki?
Hm, to me the wiki seems to be a better place. I think of the manual
test cases as some form of documentation (about how and what to test).
The wiki provides better support for organizing and searching. But, not
being a QA engineer, I can easily be mistaken.

We could create a "product" in BZ for all test cases, with
"components" under that for different test areas, like "performance
test", "smoke test", "detailed test", etc.
One BZ issue per test case.
For each test pass, we simply reset each test case/issue back to "New
state". We then test each issue. If the test case passes, then we
mark the BZ issue as closed. If the test case fails, then we already
have a BZ issue for the developers.
Pro: Makes it very easy to make new test cases from existing BZ
issues, or to make BZ issues from testcases.
Con: Reporting not so good. Does not handle doing multiple test
passes in parallel. For example, if we wanted to test AOO 4.0 in
parallel with a maintenance AOO 3.4.1 release.
After review some tools, I find the "Test Link"[1], maybe the proper tool
for us to manage testing work. If anyone has any suggestion on other tools,
please let me know. The target is to customize and deploy it to OO
website. I'll move forward with this tool with no objection

I tried their demo site. It was very slow. Does anyone have
experience with Test Link?
