    4040=== Example

    42 Take the testcases that you've written in a Word doc or Excel spreadsheet and put one test case into one xml document. Check the testcases into Subversion (see below). There has been some feedback that this may end up in a large set of test cases, which is only true if you write test cases in scripted form: "Testcase 1: click the submit button... end of test case".

    46 My personal philosophy is to encourage people to write work flow or task based driven testcases and have the tester use their brains to find issues. I call it '''script based exploratory testing'''. Check out Exploratory testing by James Bach at http://satisfice.com. If they need to look at the UI in very high detail then the test case could simply be "compare the UI to the mockup and here's the link to the screen shot".

    50 You can specify collection of test cases (for example a smoke test) by specifying which test cases belong to a test template. This information is also specified in an xml file.

    5252Note this plugin is designed to work with Subversion, although no specific Subversion code is used. Potentially this plugin works with other Trac supported configuration management systems.

    195 I've added some helpful debugging/error checking that should help if an error occurs. The most likely error is specifying the relative path to the testcases incorrectly.
