Comment #2 on issue 1039 by [email protected]: Metadata for test cases
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1039
We could use tags. However, it is not that easy to figure out which tag is
an issue id and we have to do some type of string matching which is not
perfect. Metadata is more structured and we wouldn't hit these issues there.
Some more examples of the use of test case level metadata
1) Code Review id
2) Author of the test case
3) In case the issue is resolved and the test case passes we still want to
keep a link to the issue id, but would not want to affect the criticality.
All of these can arguably be a tag, but the string matching comes into
picture again.
