Hi Luca, All,
Thanks for this input. What I would propose are two "documents" to
support this testing work:
1) An outline of the tests with some detail about how to perform them,
and what constitutes and acceptable outcome.
2) A tracking document to capture the tests themselves with comments,
dates and test related details as you note below.
I think a wiki is ideal for the outline (1) above. I agree emailing a
document around is too cumbersome.
I think an issue tracker is ideal for (2) above. I propose we use the
existing NCAR Jira system for this. Once we have a good outline
organized we can then create the necessary Jira tasks to track progress
and issues.
Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks,
-Eric
