[Koha-devel] Best place for test plans

[David Cook]

I see the merit of having them in git, but how do you know when you’re looking at the latest instructions? Or do you look at each commit that you apply for its test plan? I always look on Bugzilla.

Hi David,

for me it's just the other way around. As test plans often need to be updated while a bug moves through the process I like taking a look at the commit messages to find the latest instructions. It also means that the plans end up in git, which can be quite helpful.

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?
