Additional Test Case fields

[garifo]

How possible would it be to add drop down lists of Inteded OS (would display windows 95, Mac and so on) and Intended Browser (which would display (IE, Fireforx, Netscape, safary..etc) (or Platform) when creating a new test?

This way it would be much easier to break the test cases ever further down into different browsers & OS for those testing web applications and differnt Platforms & OS for those testing windows application.

In addition as to see which intended browsers are having the most conpatability issues with the application.

Thanks for this great product.

It\'s planned to solve by allowing user create own custom parameters for TCs. There should be support in db for this from 1.7 version. However implementation of such feature will be probably postponed to 1.8.

This question keep coming back, but few seems to realize that there are two different way of doing this : you can add fields (OS, browser) to either the test case definition OR the test case execution.

The result is very different :

- If the field concern the definition, you will have to duplicate your test case for each OS and browser ! (It may be what you want, specialy if the test case aren\'t exactly the same for each platforms.)

- If the field concern the execution, the same test case can have different results : one per OS and browser. (This is what SalomeTMF or QATrack already do.)

Thats good point. The custom fields should apply on more places. I see Test Case, Test Case in Test Plan, Build, Requirement and could be more. Two the most wanted are TC view and Execution pages.
The request to implement it is there a long time. However we concentrate to different things. I hope that the thing move ahead. Anyway your help is welcome.
