comments for each testcase at testplan

[podskalsky]

hello roberto,

we have a new feature request and maybe you also will need it.

we want to insert a comment at each tescase in combination with the testplan. our testers want to store information about the test execution (independent if the test faild or was ok) of the actual testplan. additional there should be at the testcase a link or a box where you see all the comments which where added to different testplans.

I hope you can add such feature to your great plugin.

THANKS Andreas

Hi Andreas, cool idea.

Unfortunately, this is not so easy to implement, since all the test plans associated to a test catalog, and all the test cases in any plan associated to a test case share the same wiki page as the original test catalog/test case.

I'll try to figure out something.

Ciao, Roberto

Hi Roberto,

I think you will need an additional table with the following coloumns ...

testcase - testplan - comment

Ciao, Andreas

Andreas, thinking more about it, I think you may just add a custom field to the "test case in plan" object.

This is how you do it:

1) In trac.ini, add the following section:

[testcaseinplan-tm_custom] comments = text

If you also want comments of test plans, add the following lines too:

[testplan-tm_custom] comments = text

2) Restart Trac

3) Go to any test case in a plan and notice the "Comments" field at the bottom of the test case description, as in the attached attachment:"screenshot1.png"​.

4) Edit the comment and click Save, as in attachment:"screenshot2.png"​.

This should fit as far as adding and looking at individual comments. It will not give you the possibility to look at the list of comments in a box as you were asking, which is a nice feature. This will require some additional coding.

Let me know what you think.

Ciao, Roberto

By the way, custom fields are documented here.

And thinking about it, you can still have an overview of all the comments to a test plan's test cases by using the test plan's tabular view, as shown in attachment:"screenshot3.png"​!!!

You can switch from the tree view to the tabular view using the little icons at the top-left of a test plan's page.

And don't tell me I don't always have an answer ;-)

Hy Roberto,

thanks for the hint to the "[testcaseinplan-tm_custom]" ! This is 99% perfect for our usage.

This 1% I#M missing ;-) Do you think you can add the changes of some selected (select at trac.ini) customized fields to the "Status change history" ?

Ciao, Andreas

[Roberto Longobardi]

Hi Andreas, glad this solution works for you :D

Every change to custom fields is already tracked in the database, but as you say it's not currently displayed anywhere.

It should not be difficult to be able to show changes to selected custom fields in the status change history. Let me take a look at the code and I'll get back to you soon.

Thanks for your interest in this plugin. Ciao, Roberto

Hi Andreas, recently I had a couple of users willing to translate this plugin in Spanish and in Estonian, and I was wondering if you would like to provide a translation into German (I assume you are German??)) or your native language.

It is about one hour work, so if you are willing to help with this, please let me know.

If you speak German and would like to provide a translation, these are the required steps:

1) go to Transiflex where this translation project is hosted. and register for an account: ​https://www.transifex.net/accounts/register/

2) Go to the page for the new German translation team (it's you :D) for this plugin:

​https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/testman4trac/team/de/

3) Click on the catalogs, messages.pot and then messages-js.pot, and in the popup window click on "Translate now".

4) You can translate by simply writing in the table. Write in the right cells the Spanish text corresponding to the English text appearing in the left cells.

I'm not sure the system will let you do the translation without my authorization, so as soon as you have created an account on Transiflex, let me know it and I will add you as a translator.

Thanks a lot if you will like to help :D Ciao,

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

Yes, i will help you to make a German translation. :-) I'm now regitered at transifex with the user "podskalsky", I've requested the membership to the german translation group - please enable my account. ​https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/testman4trac/team/de/

I will do the best for a good german translation.

Ciao, Andreas

[Roberto Longobardi]

Thanks a lot!

You're now enabled, good work! :D

Thanks, ciao Roberto

German Translation finished!

[Roberto Longobardi]

Thanks so much, Andreas!

The translation looks very good (from a programmatic standpoint :D).

I'll include the new language catalog in 1.4.7 soon.

Ciao, Roberto

[Roberto Longobardi]

Andreas, your translation has just been shipped with ​1.4.7!

Thanks!
