Detailed Specification

The needs:

• load and edit test script (inc and bas files)

• load a project with all test scripts

To create a project with all testautomation-project-files the following procedure should be integrated in NetBeans

• File->New Project
• Project Wizard opens
• Step 1: Possibility to select Category 'VCLTesttool' and Project 'testautomation'

• Step 2: Possibility to edit 'ProjectName' and 'SourcesFolder'

• Finish Button creates the project in NetBeans

• Syntax highlighting
• Integration of the SCM

• ResultFileViewer

It should be possible to view result files. This is the window for displaying the result.

TODOs

Features

• make it opensource

License should be LGPL like used on all OpenOffice.org files

• added to a SCM.

CVS should be used as SCM. Sources should be located in qa-Directory of Repository. See CVS-Browser for details

• .cvs and .svn-directorys should not be shown in Projects list

• 'Properties' entry on Project's contextmenu

The contextmenu to be opened on Project's name should have an entry 'Properties'. By selecting this entry a dialog should be opened where Project properties can be edited.

Properties to be edited should be 'Path' and 'Name'

• WIN and SID files should be supported in Navigator

• 'Project location' should be removed from Project wizard. Projects folder should be in Netbeans default project folder (NetBeansProjects) and named like 'Project Name'

• SCM's should be listed in files context menu (SVN, CVS, Mercurial) to easily work with SCM's files

Done

Bugs

• (FIXED) Cursor jumps to beginning of document when double click on text

Features

• load and edit test script (inc and bas files).

The files can be loaded into the IDE.

• Integration of the SCM.

This feature is build into Netbeans, so there is nothing to do.

• Navigator should list details of bas- and inc-files

• Go to Declaration

It's now possible to go to the declaration of a function.
