TCM wishes

TCM is used for localization testing and result tracking. But for better acceptance TCM ( the tool and the process) could be enhanced. This page could be used to collect wishes.

available infos

• about TCM
• TCM login

General Enhancements

• TCM should be open source (L)GPL - so community could be more active in improving TCM.
• Decide if TCM designs the management software or the bundle of it with the testcases.
• The free license should apply to both components; LGPL could be a problem since it would probably allow linking the management software to proprietary testcases; the problems the community has now in accessing and modifying testcases risk not being solved unless the whole (TCM+testcases) is GPLed. But testcases are not source code, so the definition of linking must be interpreted somehow.

Process Enhancements

• community should have the ability to define new builds for testing

Tool Enhancements

general

• option to hide outdated test cycles in test assignment and test result update
• implementation of test types (e.g. release test, feature test)

test assignments

• it should be possible to assign testcases to more then one tester
