Unfortunately while I am familiar with a few test case management systems, I have not been involved with the Fedora project long enough to know its workflows. And a quick search online is not turning up much about Nitrate, with its changelog[1] implying it was first made open source software in July 2010.
I might be able to provide some general comments though if I knew more about the product. So for those of us unfamiliar with the history of Nitrate, could you please answer the following: 1. What is the history of Nitrate and the Fedora Project? What does the Fedora project expect to gain from using it? 2. Is a sample play/sandbox test instance with more-or-less full access available online? 3. How does Nitrate compare to other open & closed sourced TCMS solutions? Why was it written as opposed to using an existing solution, and what are its straights & weaknesses? 4. Is test case & test plan import and export (to XML, etc.) support available? If so is this compatible with any other TCMS's import/export system? 5. Are nested test plan and/or test case hierarchies supported? 6. Can multiple projects share test cases, and even reference older versions of test cases if they are lagging behind the current rawhide/Fedora release? Will Spins be able to make their own (simultaneously running) test plans? 7. How long will historical test case results be made available? 8. Is there any plan to tie this into Bodhi and other tools to detect updated packages that may imply test cases need re-running and/or updating? 9. Is this going to be available as a Fedorahosted service like Trac is? If so will all the instances be able to share test cases? 10. Is there any concern that changing test tracking systems may encourage/discourage existing testers to participate? Some of this information may be useful to post on the Trac main page and/or in the Fedora wiki. Thanks in advance for your time. --- SJG [1] https://fedorahosted.org/nitrate/browser/trunk/nitrate/docs/ChangeLog On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 6:36 AM, He Rui <r...@redhat.com> wrote: > Greetings! > > Wiki workflow/use cases are reorganized and grouped by general and main > test events(runs) use cases.
