Another quick update about this. It seems you can bring up "test cases" 
and use Print view to bring them up separately in your browser. So, I'm 
going through the cases using this appraoch and saving them 
individually. When I've got this complete, I will upload them to the wiki.

This discussion is about Testlink. See https://s.apache.org/HxCf for the 
archives.



But if we have any old notations about testing  this would help us to
create new one.


The idea is simply to get hold of the Testlink system and all testcases 
it already contains (so that we can make a backup of them, just in 
case). We haven't used it for years, and I personally have never used it 
at all, but apparently it is good enough and it would simply need to be 
reactivated.

Hello Andrea,
hello *,

I don'tknow exactly which system you mean.

But if we have any old notations about testing  this would help us to
create new one.

Is there also a new tool like a testtool available where we can crate
the new one step by step.

Kind regards

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 --

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
