I'm Baaaaack

OK, so for the benefit if the three of you Testopia users that are left, I thought I would let you know I am wrapping up the project at work that has eaten all my waking hours in the coming weeks, and the focus is going to shift back towards Bugzilla/Testopia for a while. That means I have a lot of catching up to do. Especially given the announcement of Bugzilla 3.4 RC 1 right around the corner.

Also, it seems that Ext 3.0 is out. Just in time to fix a new batch of browser bugs (I hope). It appears that this version is going to have a lot of spiffy new features. Of course, I am not sure how to reconcile the continuing license issuse. No word on whether the existing FLOSS exception will carry over.

I have a slew of new ideas on top of the existing enhancements already logged. There is going to be a lot of work in the coming weeks.

Oh, and for those that use MediaWiki, you might want to check this out.

Stay tuned...

Hi Greg,

I am grateful for the tremendous work on a good piece of software. Integration of a good testcase management tool with a good bug tracker is something any company would love.
I do have a problem however: the "web 2.0" thingie simply drives me nuts: I simply cannot say from the list of testcases in a test plan which is which and what is supposed to test. The obvious solution is to export them in a human readable format, examine, modify, and re-upload. This is the MAIN problem: Testopia only accepts XML format for import. And the XML format accepted by Testopia is not 'accepted' by any XML editor I tried under Linux. Can you (or someone else) point me to the right direction?

regards,
Marius

This has been an oft requested feature. I believe it is already logged in Bugzilla. If you would like to comment on the existing bug with your ideas (or even better yet, submit a patch ;-) I will see what can be done.

Hi Greg,

do you have an idea when to expect an RC for the new version of Testopia? I assume that 2.2 won´t work with 3.4, or?

Keep up the good work. We just decided that Testopia will be the tool for us to support the tests in our company.

Regards,
Andreas

I am also running Bugzilla 3.2.3 with Testopia 2.2 and I am eager to upgrade to Bugzilla 3.2.4. Will the Testopia 2.2 patch for Bugzilla 3.2 work after the upgrade?

Greg Hendricks said...

In short... probably not.

Obviously I am keeping abreast of the changes in 3.4. Though there are few, there are some that will impact Testopia. I will be sure to keep you posted.
