[RFC] FLP - User Interface Test Cases

[Runa Bhattacharjee]

Hello,

In an earlier FLP Meeting on 5th February 2008 [1], a proposal was put forward  to create a  set of 
test-cases that would aid in testing the Translated User Interface, prior to a release. A basic 
outline of the proposal would include:

# Identification of the essential packages that would require User Interface testing
# Identifying the testing areas (e.g. translation context,  widget length etc.)
# Listing specific and easy-to-follow test-cases for the testing areas, that can be used by the 
Translation teams
# Test Result collection mechanism, that would help the Translation teams to share/archive the 
information

Since, Quality Testing is a highly specialised domain, we would require inputs from Subject Matter 
Experts before a plan can be chalked out. Existing testing mechanisms used by the Translation Teams 
can also be listed and based upon inputs we all could determine the feasibility of the proposal.

There was a /L10N/Testing Page listed earlier, but  I can't seem to find it. vpv, can you point out 
the correct page please, if it still exists somewhere. :-)

Thanks

cheers
Runa
