The book has found its way onto Amazon.com.  Eventually the e-book and
printed book will be linked together and Search inside the book will be
there too.  The URL is:

James:
You have the printed book? or a photograph of the book?
I wonder if it has wonder covers...

Hey all,

@Tabitha, I made your template prominent in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_testing_template and continued the
archivist job of marking old stuff as {{obsolete|from 2008}}...

Is _anything_ under http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tests still a useful
test case?  Maybe a mass delete or rename to Tests/old crap/Xyz is in
order?
A lot of those tests are linked from activity pages, e.g.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Memorize has a TST link, but most activities
have moved to sugarlabs.org where none (?) of them have testing
information.

@Sridhar, re:
 The main piece of advice I'm getting is that we need a good test case
 management system that allows for linking with defects. The links need
 to be able to be tracked, searched and sorted.

Passive voice is to be avoided.  Before spending time on features
like that, be very clear who exactly is going to use them. You can do
powerful querying on the 2008 w.l.o test cases, but... AFAICT nobody
cared! Maybe all you actually need is to add links to bug reports in
testing results, and in bug reports add links to the test case (if
any) the tester was following when the bug occurred.

Did you see the spreadsheet in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_testing_meetings/2008-11-06/Displaying_testing_metrics_in_motivating_ways
?
One nice thing about using a Google Docs spreadsheet is you can
publish a form front-end that anyone can use to add a row for a test
result, see Carl Klitscher's form front-end
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pyBIsSK_3IlsHBpwk1EFNcQ
? @Tabitha, were you among the Wellington testers that supposedly used
this? If so, did you like it?

I think the Sugar activity testing spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AntaXnq4oy2_dHpvZHhLeGRQYzc1cDlRZU9Mc1NldGc#gid=0
appends columns for each test result, which is not amenable to a form
front-end.

The Fedora Test Day approach on the //fedoraproject.org wiki
encourages tabular reporting of test results, but I haven't found a
page with any results,  e.g.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-08-19_Sugar. It's
similar to the external spreadsheet approach. The choice between them
depends whether wiki linking (e.g. What links here to find out what
test days exercised a particular test case) is more important than
spreadsheet jockeying.

I think 
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#Testing_Results
is pretty unusable. It would be much better to create a subpage for
each testing result, like SL.o used to e.g.
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/SoaS/Testing/Soas2-200905031329 , and
then use {{subst:}} or Special:PrefixIndex to pull in or reference
these from other pages.

I summarized the four (so far!) ways sl.o has collected test results
in http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/SoaS/Testing .

Good luck,

I think the Sugar activity testing spreadsheet
*1-)Tests-Sugar-0.94.1* resulted from a need to find 0.94 sugar 
compatible activities
Authored by Alan Jhonn Aguiar Schwyn It is flexable as a spreadsheet. 
with most of the features a spreadsheet offers.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AntaXnq4oy2_dHpvZHhLeGRQYzc1cDlRZU9Mc1NldGc#gid=0

2-) full Open Office spreadsheet
 
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Activities-Index-ASLO-f13-Mirabelle-f14-rawhide-Soas-tests.ods
and posting it on sugarlabs.wiki with links. This is hard use for a 
number of reporters


3-)Another approach for activity testing are this wiki tables split list 
on the  sugarlabs wiki that I have been maintaining:

I was guided to the wiki table approach early on as a good compromise.
Activity tests A-I
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Activity_Matrix%28A_to_I%29
Activity tests J-Z
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Activity_Matrix%28J_to_Z%29

An older first attempt is listed here:
 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_QA

fedora for their test day testing uses wiki tables. . Here they do use 
links to subpages of wiki tables for the actual test descriptions and 
testing results.


 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_17_Alpha_RC4_Base  
(is a sample from fedora 17  testing.)


These can be complex structures. I am not certain that anything is 
gained here by the complexity. But you can link to a large number of 
different tests and list their results


This format can be more difficult to use as the reporters have to be 
familiar with wiki table editing.
but it does have sortable columns and can include links to other 
information.


4-)Fedora also uses a master tracking bug in bugzilla that lists all 
of the outstanding bugs for a release and close them as issues are 
fixed. this does include links and attachments.

5-)

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS#Testing_Results

a single wiki page as it is more flexible for reporters to edit and for 
the kind of information it contains.

The only indexing is via the table of contents and linking.

I hope that this summary of the way I have looked at test result 
reporting is helpful.
