Title: Testers' Version of EA
Post by: SteveB002 on August 05, 2005, 08:27:57 am

We are exploring some of the other features of EA and in particular using the system to document our test cases and bugs/defects.  The trouble is, as only our designers have EA,  our testers would have to work from a report and then the designers would have to enter the results back into EA.

The EALite version already exists, which allows anyone to read the models but I really would like to be able to get our testers to enter their results and bugs directly within EA.  As far as I can see, that means I would have to buy them all a desktop version of EA which doesn't make financial sense.

An EATester or Maintenance version would allow users to enter test results and bug reports.

Just a suggestion.  :)

Not the nicest way, but you could write a simple Access-based program to place the results directly in the database...

I just spent six months doing that!  ;)

Once upon a time I also was that slow in developing "small programs" ;D

But maybe you have a new customer for your product?
