== Summary  ==

QA has been using [http://litmus.mozilla.org/ litmus.mozilla.org] for the past 5-6 years and it's serviced the community semi-appropriately during that time. Unfortunately, as the community plans to scale up, the current codebase is not an appropriate fit and needs to be replaced by a better scalable tool in terms of usability and functionality. 

=== Mission Goals  ===

#Replace litmus.mozilla.org with a more modern tool 
#Build a more intuitive and useful manual testcase manager 
#Offer a better extensibility to interface with other tools

== Contribute ==
We need your help to make sure TCM is equal or better than Litmus in every area we need in QA.

To help, you can:
# Think about your current workflow with Litmus
# Check out the [https://cc.oddsites.net/ staging site] and play with it
## Please keep in mind it's under development and incomplete
## Some areas are only "wireframes."  If you see a tab at the bottom of the page that says, "wireframe" or "incomplete" then odds are it's not functional, just to show how it WILL look.
# If there's something missing (remember it's not done yet) then check [https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/280483 TCM Tracker] to see if we plan to address it.  If you don't want to check tracker, that's ok.  I can do some vetting.
# [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?alias=&assigned_to=nobody%40mozilla.org&blocked=&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F&bug_severity=enhancement&bug_status=NEW&comment=&component=TCM&contenttypeentry=&contenttypemethod=autodetect&contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain&data=&dependson=&description=&flag_type-325=X&flag_type-37=X&flag_type-4=X&flag_type-607=X&form_name=enter_bug&keywords=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=All&priority=--&product=Mozilla%20QA&qa_contact=tcm%40mozilla-qa.bugs&rep_platform=All&requestee_type-325=&requestee_type-4=&requestee_type-607=&short_desc=&status_whiteboard=&target_milestone=---&version=unspecified Enter a user story!]  Enter the story in Bugzilla first, and I will vet it, and prioritize it in Tracker.  Your workflow matters!

Or if you'd rather just chat about it, that's great too.  Please come find me (Cameron) and we'll talk.

== Product Management ==
You can view the current state of the user stories here:

* [https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/280483 Pivotal Tracker - CC]

Note: New user stories and bugs are entered in Bugzilla first.  Then Tracker will import them and we will prioritize them.  This allows people to watch progress in Bugzilla as well.
