Hi all,

I’ve been wondering about the best place to put test plans. I think traditionally we include them in our git commits, but I feel like it would be better to include them as standalone comments in Bugzilla.

My reasoning is that finding test plans can be really difficult when you’re scrolling back through numerous autogenerated per-commit comments. And if there is lots of rebasing or modifications, you wind up with a million test plans, so you can’t even Ctrl + F really.

I figure when a patch is ready for testing, the developer should write 1 comment containing all test plan instructions and post it to the bottom of Bugzilla. That way, testers can just Ctrl + F for test plan, find the lowest one, and just consider that in their testing.

What do you all think?
