UDS:R -- the story so far

[chris hermansen]

Jeff et al;

I guess it would be churlish of me to say I'm not interested in testing
web-cams, but since I don't own one...

If I could wave my wand, what I would like to see is a great set of test
cases for LibreOffice.  And maybe even more than that, I would like to see
a brief tutorial on how to set up a test case from a user narrative point
of view.

I would be willing to put together a LibreOffice user narrative (I'm
stretching the truth here; I already have one) that could be turned into a
test case.  If some of us were to document such a process, maybe it would
be easier for others to roll their own.

Am I wrong?
