Hi Christian,
[...]
Why is this important? Because these features are often the reason for changes that cause bugs and as such are the central thing to test for new products. So beside your usual "this is what I'm doing with it" testing, it would be perfect if everyone could look at some.
The list is also great to answer the question "What's new in 11.0?" :-)
For details how we think it could be done, see the text on the page:
If you want to help testing, select the feature you want to test, edit this page and set it's "Testing Result" to "running" when starting the tests. ... If you are unable to finish the test, please reset the status from "running" to "idle".
Lazy people could also skip the "running" status and only set the status to "passed" or "failed" ;-)
I'd like to propose that people should sign off the test result with their username ("--~~~~"). Advantages: - you know who has run a test and can ask for details, if necessary (try to find out after 40 edits when no username is stated... ;-) - maybe two persons running the test get different results. With the username added, everybody could add "his" result.
Oh, and if a test failes, a link to the bugreport ("{{bug|123456}}") should be added.
(Wiki page not changed yet - I'd like to hear some feedback first.)
I'm fine with that improvements.
Thanks a lot for your support. Please note that this is the first time we're doing it this way. Hopefully we'll have better tools for future versions, so we'll gladly hear your feedback on what works and what doesn't.
It was already said that a wiki page with about 200 items is too large.
Sure the list is quite long, but every feature can be edited on his own.
What about using the old betatestdb.suse.de for this? I think it should work for this usecase.
It's not an option anymore.
I'd like to add another issue:
Some of the features lack a useful description - take "Easy-to-use time/date applet needed (Feature No: 4134)" as an example. The only thing I can see is that it is desktop-related (what a surprise...), but the description is empty. Therefore it's impossible to comment on it if I don't know what it is about.
I guess the page was auto-generated from FATE (which is OK in general, I don't want to force anybody to do it manually) - but please go through the page and add some details in cases like described above.
That's true for some features. My suggestion is to leave this features untouched for the moment. Otherwise it can be set to someting like NEEDINFO as an hint to add some more information for us.
One more: Some features include links to bugzilla.suse.de which are redirected to bugzilla.novell.com. Unfortunately the redirect leads to the wrong page.
http://bugzilla.suse.de/show_bug.cgi?id=34654 redirects to https://bugzilla.novell.com/index.cgi?id=34654 but should go to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=suse34654 (yes, the "suse" part in the id is correct - AFAIK all bugs that were in bugzilla.suse.de got an alias "suse<original bug number>".)
Fixed that.
Oh, and I have just set two features to "passed" :-)
