Strong agreement from me for "have the test plan in the commit message." 

Bugs in bugzilla do get messy, but as long as we are applying the latest patch, the plans are always right there for you to look at. Also for everyone else to look at. And immortalized in git.

Git. They go in git, and by extension, on the patches attached to Bugzilla.

Cheers,

Hi David

I think it is a good practice to have the test plan as commit comment and to obsolete any comments that are related to obsoleted patches. In Bugzilla, comments can be obsoleted by entering the keyword 'obsolete' as tag and then hit the return key.

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?
