===Litmus===
|
|
|
|
If you're reading this, you've downloaded, received, or simply conjured
|
|
out of thin air, a copy of the Litmus testcase management system.
|
|
Presumably, you're reading this file because you have some sort of
|
|
question about Litmus. Hopefully, if we've done our job right, this file
|
|
ought to answer your questions.
|
|
|
|
Q: What is Litmus?
|
|
A: Litmus is a testcase management system. Its goal is to allow users to
|
|
enter software tests, run them, and view and manage the results. Along
|
|
the way, users can expect to be able to do queries and reports and have
|
|
access all the usual features they expect from a first-class web
|
|
application. The reality may be somewhat different than this goal.
|
|
Litmus is developed by mozilla.org.
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I install this dang thing?
|
|
A: You probably want the file called INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
Q: Where is the real documentation?
|
|
A: Hahahaha. What is this "documentation" you speak of? You might want
|
|
to check out the Litmus Wiki, which may or may not contain useful
|
|
information. See http://wiki.mozilla.org/Litmus.
|
|
|
|
Q: What needs to be done?
|
|
A: See http://wiki.mozilla.org/Litmus:Todo
|
|
|
|
Q: How much does it cost?
|
|
A: Nothing. Litmus is Free Software, licensed under the Mozilla Public
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
Q: Wait. Isn't "testcase" two words?
|
|
A: Not here it isn't.
|
|
|
|
Q: Waaaaaaah. Why is Litmus written in Perl and not
|
|
PHP/Python/Java/Objective Pascal/Latin?
|
|
A: Because I know Perl. Duh. Also because Litmus uses some code from
|
|
Bugzilla, and it wouldn't be able to do this if it was written in some
|
|
other language. Camels are also some of the least buggy animals around,
|
|
as they swat flies away with their tails.
|
|
|
|
Q: I'm still confused. You didn't answer my question. I don't know what
|
|
to do. Help!
|
|
A: First of all, that's not a question. In any case, your best bet is
|
|
probably to email Zach Lipton <zach@zachlipton.com>, and if you ask
|
|
nicely and don't make too much of a pest of yourself, he'd be glad to
|
|
get you on the right track. |
