Question regarding Test Plan execution
We are a small company trying to implement testlink. I was able to follow everything except for a small glitch. Is there a way to Assign Test Plan Execution to multiple users? We are a team of three and all the three members go through execution of same test plans and test cases. If i make a different test project, I can again assign the test cases execution to only one user.

Hello akshay
We are in the same situation. We are 5 Testers, and every Tester should see alle Testcases, and should be able to execute the Testcases.
Every tester is able to see all the Testcases of the testplan, is able to see the actual status of the testcases of the testplan and is able to execute the testcases he wants to test.
To make this, you have to change the configurations in the file config.inc.php:
Make following settings, then you don't need to assign the testcases to anyone.
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->view_mode->tester='all';
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->exec_mode->tester='all';
Disadvantage:
When 2 testers will execute the same testcase at the same time, the chronological first saving of the status will win, and will set the Teststatus (for example to: <failed>).
We have managed this problem by the way, that every tester has its specific-areas inside the Testplan to test. So we speak with one another, and we havn't any problems until now.

Just tried it out. It doesnt keep a tab of which user got what result. This is a key thing because we can concentrate on a bug if the report shows inconsistency of that test case. If a report says pass or fail but doesnt specify the tester, and does show if it failed for few testers or all of them, or if the last associate makes a mistake and gets a result as pass, then we will lose track of the bug. This can make our implementation of Testlink difficult 
was really loving it so far

Why should a tester do an execution of a testcase a second time? He can see the actual status of the Testcase every time.
Here is our way to test:
When a tester executes a Testcase, and this Testcase is failed, he writes his name and the error-description inside the notes window and sets the Testcase to failed.
