Sure. When we have builds of OpenOffice 4.0 that have new features, and are stable, then we will run the manual test cases defined in Testlink. These tests are two kinds: 1) Tests of new features that have been added to AOO 4.0. New code tends to have more bugs, so we'll give them a lot of attention. We'll need to define the test cases first, of course. 2) Tests of existing features, even if they are not being modified for 4.0. This is called "regression testing". We're looking for regressions, or things that were working before but now are broken. Why? Because academic studies have shown that 25% of defects come from introducing new bugs by changing other code. But we're not quite there. Most of the test cases were defined by project volunteers in China, and they are going away for their Chinese New Year celebration. My guess is we'll start the AOO 4.0 testing in another 10 days or so. So until that time, you don't need to touch Testlink at all. Right now we're focusing on reviewing bug reports on the already released versions of OpenOffice, including 3.4.1, 3.4.0, 3.3.0, etc. This is the work described as "Easy QA Task: Confirm New Defect Reports" here: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html Regards, -Rob > all this questions are about of test cases. > > thanks in advance. > > Yurggent Alfredo
