QA/TCM

Summary

QA has been using 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

1. Replace litmus.mozilla.org with a more modern tool
2. Build a more intuitive and useful manual testcase manager
3. 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:

1. Think about your current workflow with Litmus
2. Check out the staging site and play with it
   1. Please keep in mind it's under development and incomplete
   2. 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.
3. If there's something missing (remember it's not done yet) then check 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.
4. 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:

• Pivotal Tracker - TCM

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.
