= problem =
We've been using mediawiki to manage tests and record results, though it's
easy to approach, it has limitations such as managing, tracking and
querying cases+results. So is it time for us to consider another solution
such as TCMS?
= analysis =
Here I quoted the suggestion from Victer Chen:
some advantages of TCMS:
* Better to record, track and query test results,
* Allow user focus on test contents instead of document maintenance.
* Share test cases
However, it couldn't be flexible as wiki. I think the most important
things need balance are below:
- Barriers
Fedora should provide very low barriers. TCMS could be configured to
allow anonymous user login and limit it's permission. Also, we can
consider using fedora account to login TCMS.
- Safety
Wiki provides the ability to rollback content easily, while TCMS
couldn't. What TCMS can do is recording all the history and allow user
recovery it manually. But if we configure the permission well, it should
not be a big problem.
= enhancement recommendation =
Work with TCMS team and package it to Fedora. Set up the system and use it
in a small scale first. If it turns out good, enlarger the scale.
