627797 - Testcase pops open when clicking on the pass/invalid/fail buttons

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: MozTrap, defect, P2)

Description

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://tcm.oddsites.net/test/product/1/cycles/1/
2. Click on Pass, Invalid or Fail buttons.

Actual Results:
That testcase pops open

Expected Results:
The testcase shouldn't pop open when clicking those buttons. Its because the buttons are there to allow a user to go to the next step without much content in his/her way.

Hmm. It seems to me that on the contrary, perhaps those buttons shouldn't even be available/visible if you have that test case collapsed. Is there really a valid use case for someone to be able to mark a test case as passed/failed/invalid when they can't even see the expected results for that test case?

The Start button I would think should be available for collapsed test cases, and it should have the effect of expanding it.

Yeah, there is and its pretty common within QA orgs. Essentially, the people running this application are usually going to be internal QA staff themselves (i.e. those who created the testcases). If that's the case, they go through many iterations of the same testcase and understand the steps to perform and expected results quite a bit. It gets to the point that being forced to go through that hurdle is a detriment to the quality of giving results for a set of testcases (given some lead time).

Though we could be smarter about this and allows for pass/invalid/fail buttons to come up without opening the testcase if the user has run through that same testcase at least 3 times.

Ok, we can make the buttons available in the collapsed state too (the smarter version sounds like complexity to save for later, if its needed), and clicking them won't in itself open the test case.

Bumping to verified, shipped.
