Hello all,
In the discussion on API, and releases Jörg has ask about how we could
improve QA.
The only way in general is to formalize. We need to define testcases and
automate those.
There are 2 ways of Automation:
1) is through Code
2) is through GUI.
Today both can be automated.
@1)
The Automation through code is already in place, but needs optimization
and improvements.
We lack KPIs like test coverage, We lack a reporting facility and we
have issues during the build.
@2)
What we have are test cases written on [1]. What we need is to extend them.
And then we need to automate them to get a good test coverage.
Also in this field we have no statistics. I think the last volunteer
looked into it has been Kai 3 years ago. I am not aware that we have
anyone who is looking into it now.
We have also a lot of Testcases in Bugzilla. Also some years ago
Mechtilde and I looked at some Test tool for Testers. But we did not
come to any conclusion.
Once we have testcases, we can again Automate them. These Tools are
called Robots, and remember in some ways in game bots. They click on the
Application window and check for results.
There are open sourced solution and Commercial solutions with community
editions.
That is what I have in mind when I talk in QA.
