Summary
The Fedora QA team is interested in evaluating Testopia as a test planning and results recording solution.
Background
During the Fedora9 campaign, the fedora wiki was used to planning, recording and presenting test execution status. Examples can be found:
- Additional test results recorded for:
While the information gathered was very helpful, and in the case of swfdec, was used to support dropping the proposed feature from F9, manually editing the wiki was not optimal. Additionally, tracking which test cases to include in a particular test run was easy to mis-type. Manually adding results to a wiki-style table entry was also easy to mis-type.
Pro's
- Recorded test cases provided manual steps needed for execution and verification
- The test plan outlined a plan of attack and provided a prioritization and organization for the proposed test cases
- Wiki worked well for test plan and case content
- Low barrier to entry ... a wiki is straight forward and uncomplex
Con's
- Gather alternative views of test metrics from the wiki is not possible
- Wiki not so great for hard metrics (date, tester, pass/fail execution metrics)

Open issues
- Testopia Component list - Should the testopia instance just re-use bugzilla product and components?
- Linking testrun to bugs - testopia supports linking bugs to a test run. It appears to be looking in the current db for bugs, does it support looking into another bugzilla db for a valid bug#?
Lessons Learned
The following list outlines important issues uncovered during the testopia proof of concept:
