Description Ruth Lee CLA 2006-04-10 15:25:29 EDT
The "Testing automatically and manually" guide uses many, many screen captures. If the documentation is written well, these screen captures should not be necessary. Plus, it's annoying to have to scroll past them; it would be faster to use words alone, and would also reduce testing maintenance.

Reassigning to Paul Slauenwhite as per our conversation.
Comment 2 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-01-26 08:28:31 EST

Comment 4 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-01-26 08:59:15 EST
As discussed on this week's Test Project call (January 22, 2007), the Test Project will focus on existing P1 - P2/Blocker - Major and P1/Normal and test creation/automation defects (omitting defects dependant on outstanding features) in TPTP 4.4.  All other Test Project defects have been targeted to future.

If this defect has been targeted to future and you/originator feel it should be completed in 4.4, please provide the necessary reason as a reply to this comment or a post to the Test Project mailing list (tptp-test-tooling-dev@eclipse.org).  We will collectively triage and assess our resources to determine a case-by-case decision.

Comment 7 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-05-28 09:42:38 EDT
Although many screen captures have been removed in place of descriptive text, there are still several screen captures remaining that need to be removed.

(In reply to comment #7)
In some cases, e.g. complicated UI, we do need to use screenshot to illustrate the task flow supported. We should not eliminate every screenshot, especially in the case that the textual description isn't sufficient in illustrating the issues or task flow.
