That's fine: it's always good to write up test procedures even if they require advanced knowledge or tools to actually complete. The benefits don't go away - it's still good to have the procedure documented so we know it will be performed consistently, and categorized so we know what test cases relate to what apps. Of course, you should note the appropriate requirements to perform the test case in the description and/or setup steps :) > 2.

For now you could probably put this in the setup steps too. I'm fond of using wiki templates in test cases: it's neat and easy. You can just create a template page with the contents: # Install the abrt tool to aid in bug reporting: {{command|su -c 'yum install abrt'}} and then include that template in the setup section of each test case. Take a look at the gnome-color-manager test cases for an example of this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_gnome-color-manager_test_cases if you look at the source you can see they all use a template for their setup steps. The actual instructions in this case would need to be a bit smarter, I think, as you need to install several packages to have a working abrt config; I think there may be a package group you can install or something. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
