Hi,
Thanks for you response.
The functionality I require is quite basic so I think my requirements would fall into
the 'simple cases' area. I would certainly be willing to get my hands dirty and test
some cases / scenarios based loosely on my own requirements. If they pass I will
certainly use them and make the test use cases available.
I am having problems though getting a cut of the code from CVS. I am using WSAD 5.1
and am attempting to add a CVS repository but I continually get an 'Invalid Host'
error.
Can someone assist with this?
Regards,
Simon.

Ah .. that is the one thing thats impossible to say in open source. I will say
two contradictory things :)
1. While Ryan has done a huge amount of work, he's at it alone at the moment.
And there is a huge amount of work to be done. The more help he gets, the
faster it will be done.
2. On the other hand, simple cases work at the moment, and if you are ready to
get your hands dirty, you may have a go at it. Ryan's built a decent skeleton
that people can flesh out. In general, what we advise our users is "if YOUR
testcases based on YOUR requirements passes, you should use it, and not
otherwise"
I know this is not necessarily what you wanted to hear.....
