[TESTCASE] doubts about testlink

[alfredo chable torrez <yu...@gmail.com>]

Hi team,
I have already working on bugs but
 I have doubts that I should be doing now in testlink.
Someone who is doing something related to this would kindly give me
guidance on:
- What do I do now?
- How I can start?
-- What subject?

all this questions are about of test cases.

thanks in advance.

Sure.

When we have builds of OpenOffice 4.0 that have new features, and are
stable, then we will run the manual test cases defined in Testlink.
These tests are two kinds:

1) Tests of new features that have been added to AOO 4.0.  New code
tends to have more bugs, so we'll give them a lot of attention.  We'll
need to define the test cases first, of course.

2) Tests of existing features, even if they are not being modified for
4.0.  This is called "regression testing".  We're looking for
regressions, or things that were working before but now are broken.
Why?  Because academic studies have shown that 25% of defects come
from introducing new bugs by changing other code.

But we're not quite there.    Most of the test cases were defined by
project volunteers in China, and they are going away for their Chinese
New Year celebration.  My guess is we'll start the AOO 4.0 testing in
another 10 days or so.

So until that time, you don't need to touch Testlink at all.  Right
now we're focusing on reviewing bug reports on the already released
versions of OpenOffice, including 3.4.1, 3.4.0, 3.3.0, etc.   This is
the work described as "Easy QA Task: Confirm New Defect Reports" here:
