it should be possible to export test cases from test link to OOCalc. Check

As such testlink is a very handy tool I believe, but I also agree we need
to take a call whether we continue to use it otherwise migrate the valuable
test cases data into platform in use.
If we are migrating we need to take a call of what to do with whether
1)shall we update User wiki at
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/#AOO_3.4_General_Testing_Test_Cases
or
2)keep the test cases Calc sheet for ready reference.
<<I can contribute here>>
In the end, I believe we need to have all test cases in one place with some
IDs where all QA volunteers can share them and run the test cases.

Thank you for investigating this. Yes, we do need to have all test cases
in one area and the wiki is a good place. You might find it helpful to
just setup a guest account on the now abandoned server and have a look
around:
http://aootesting.adfinis-sygroup.org/login.php?note=expired
What I experience using my guest account is that I can browse the test
cases -- and there are a LOT of them -- but not do an export as
described in the documentation for Testlink 1.9.3 --

As I previously posted, the old TestLink instance is still alive but NOT

* Is there any interest in revising TestLink completely?
This would require contacting adfinish-sygroup.org to establish a new
admin for our TestLink instance who would then be responsible for
general
oversight of this platform including adding users, etc.
Recently, I setup a guest account and had a look around. It seems SOME
tests are continuing to be run automatically (bvt, etc.), but they are
referencing the old 4.0.x series and I have no knowledge of how any of
this
is setup.
* Is there any interest in salvaging the existing test cases (manual
write-ups) from the TestLink system and porting them to the AOO svn
tree
under "/test" with a new sub-are named "manual_tests" or something
similar.
The manual test cases most recently pertained to 4.0.x but I'm sure
they
could continue to be used for the 4.1.x and 4.2.x series.
Hi Kay,
I hope to one day soon try my hand at some QA.
I just looked around TestLink and it looks interesting.
Is this web service donated to the project?
Is there a risk of loosing this information somehow?
Thanks,
Carl
Carl, I don't really know the answer to your first question about
donation of the Testlink platform to AOO.
Yuzhen Fan, a current committer and PMC member, seems to be the last
administrator of
Testlink with the Adfinis group, and may have some answers on this.
On the second question. Although there are some test cases ported to the
AOO user wiki, we would be wise to collect up the test cases on the
Testlink platform as soon as we can for safekeeping.
Previously, I was only involved in QA as a tester.
A slight clarification on this response.
The TestLink instance on
http://aootesting.adfinis-sygroup.org/
was setup and administered by members of the QA area initially, all PMC
members.
Some AOO committers involved in QA, myself included, had administrative
capabilities within the AOO TestLink instance but not the actual instance
itself.
Hi Kay,
Thanks for the clarification.
I agree that having important information such as this only outside of
Apache controlled assets is a risk.
I would be good if they have a way to export them so we at least maintain
a copy.
I can also see the benefit of the service being maintained as long as it's
available to us.
Best regards,
Carl
