There is a lack of design documentation and specification in the blueprints, creating test plans is problematic and requires a lot of communication with the developers. I was wondering whether we could partially remedy this by creating a place where we could share test plans - a place to add comments, point out problems and figure out the weak points of the features.

These test plans wouldn't be meant for documenting the
existing tests (documenting 800+ test cases would be impossible
anyway), just as a means of communication.

My current solution is github + text files[1]. I chose using github because it's more likely to be actually used by developers. Another alternative would be the wiki, but I think the code-like nature of test plans would profit from using the same tools as for code. Putting them right into the blueprints would be problematic, as it doesn't support formatting, but we can link them there.

Are there perhaps some better solutions for this? Would it be worth our time to try this?
