about adding images to test cases and impact on DB size

Post by rims »

Hello,
We started using Testlink since few days and we are wondering if we start using the copy/paste image feature in our Test case design. If images are stored in the database, then we could end up with a huge Database.
What is your recommendation to us?
For information: in few months, we'll be like 100 people using this tool, so DB can grow up quickly.
Thanks a lot in advance

I do not like storing images on DB.
Do not know if copy/paste is only working solution when you use Rich Web Editor.

Off Topic: if you plan to have 100 users, it will be great if your company can think about supporting TestLink development (just think about amount of money ypu are saving on licenses)

Thanks a lot for your help
