First Experiance with Testlink

Hi at all

I played around with the new testlink instance and I want to share my
first experiances. First of all, Testlink is quite different to the old
TCM. It's more complicated, but also more powerfull. And Testlink is
extendable.

There are many different rules, for my point of view too many. But the
rules are compleet adaptable, and so we can simplify them, if we want.

I was able to create a project. At the moment we have only testprojects.
For my point of view, it makes sense to create a Project for each AOO
version. (AOO341 AOO35 etc.) Also I beleve it's a good idea to have a
basic project who all testcases are stored. The big question is, how to
bring over the testcases from a basic project to a working project. The
GUI from Testlink offer a possibility to build a project on the basis of
an other project. Unfortunaly this function does not take over the
testcases. You can export and import testcases via XML, but I don't know
if Testlink is able to handle multiple testcases export/import.

I was able to create a Testcases, but what I miss is a Checkbox for the
Testers (pass/fail) and a comment box. Also I miss a overview over all
tests. The first one will be easy to solve. We cann add this fields. The
seccond one is probabily not so easy.

Greatings to all

Hi Raphael,

  To address your concern. I'd suggest we use only one project to store all
test cases, and test plan will be helpful to differentiate each release.
e.g. create one test plan for AOO 3.5, and another one for AOO 4.0. So one
test case can be added into both AOO 3.5 and AOO 4.0 test plan. Also in the
test plan you will be able enter your test result, we can call it test
execution.

Hi Raphael,
Thank you for your investigation in TestLink, i also try TestLink recently. 
I'm using Apach OpenOffice TestProject and do some operator on this project.
I want write a wiki to make it simple for end user, But it not complete yet, if you are interesting in it you can also update it.

Yes it is able to handle multiple test case export/import, but the file for export/import have size limitation.

For the first one, if you assign any test case to test plan, when you run test case, there should have Notes / Description comment box and result  (pass/fail) selection.

For the second, Once you create and active an test plan, you can see there have a link Test Report add into the navigation.
There are 16 kinds of report, hope it can solve your here.

Test Plan Report
Test Report
General Test Plan Metrics
Results by Tester per Build
Test Case Assignment Overview
Query Metrics
Test result matrix
Failed Test Cases
Blocked Test Cases
Not run Test Cases
Test Cases without Tester Assignment
Charts
Requirements based Report
Test Cases with Custom Fields set on Execution
Test Plan with Custom Field info
Test Cases not assigned to Any Test Plan
