Re: Testing: Is there any interest in the old TestLink system and/or test cases?

[DurgaPrasad Potnuru]

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

http://demo.testlink.org/latest/docs/tl-file-formats.pdf
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19003017/testlink-export-complete-test-cases-into-openoffice

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.

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.

 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
