20180901 - Important Changes on next release (1.9.18)

TestLink 1.9.18 will be released with important changes regarding how different Test Specification and Requirement Specification will related among then, and with following artifacts:

  • test case attachments
  • test case relations
  • test case keywords
  • requirement attachments
  • requirement coverage.

When the test case version and requirement version concept were introduced, the simple past was to maintain the same old behavior were the main artifacts were the test case and the requirements.

This kind of behavior imposed some limits that were detailed by different users. One company decided to be the sponsor of a new development, that will be the new behavior since TestLink 1.9.18

Test Case Attachments

This is a raw presentation of future changes, just to allow TestLink users to be alert regarding changes that will get, when upgrading to 1.9.18.
