Chris, I would love to see what you have. There is some existing
libreoffice test cases as well -- we need to do some work on exposing
all the application testcases we have in an easier to see manner.
However, until then, have a look here:
http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1423/info
The testcase format is documented here, and if start a thread here on
the wiki the testcase admins would be happy to help get the testcase
formatted properly for inclusion.

Jeff et al;
I guess it would be churlish of me to say I'm not interested in
testing web-cams, but since I don't own one...
If I could wave my wand, what I would like to see is a great set of
test cases for LibreOffice. And maybe even more than that, I would
like to see a brief tutorial on how to set up a test case from a user
narrative point of view.
I would be willing to put together a LibreOffice user narrative (I'm
stretching the truth here; I already have one) that could be turned
into a test case. If some of us were to document such a process,
maybe it would be easier for others to roll their own.
Am I wrong?

I think
the reason we have a lot of working webcams in 12.10 and not
so many
working LibreOffices is because the test cases for LibreOffice
don't
currently go deeply enough.
If you're interested in testing hardware related items like the
webcam, hotkeys, audio, etc, you should look at Checkbox[1] and
the tests it provides.
You can run it in an Ubuntu Friendly[2] context from the dash by
searching for "Ubuntu Friendly" and clicking on the "System
Testing" icon.
For the curious, the test cases are defined in job files located
in /usr/share/checkbox/jobs in plain text. These jobs include
manual tests, automated tests, and tests that are a combination of
both (for example, launching a program and asking the tester to
confirm the result).
The scripts that do the actual testing can be found in
/usr/share/checkbox/scripts. Scripts can be in virtually any
language, though we generally prefer shell or python to keep the
code base somewhat homogenous.
For Ubuntu Friendly, the tests that are run are contained in a
file called /usr/share/checkbox/data/whitelists/default.whitelist
We use this same tool and these same scripts for Ubuntu Hardware
Certification.
And, Checkbox is installed on EVERY Ubuntu Desktop install there
is (Not in the [X,K,L,Ed,*]ubuntus though :( ) as it is part of
the default installation and lives in Main.
Checkbox is also an open project so anyone is welcome to submit
patches, new tests, improve the existing tests, etc.
Happy Testing ;-)
