+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Yes, testcase need to be done for each package. Maybe we could have a
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> wiki page to save all test cases, and use them when the same package is
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> updated again ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> No need to put this on the wiki as it will be useless for 90% of them as an
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> update request must have a test case for the bug fixed, not for the whole
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> package.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Yes, for the test about the bug fixed. But isn't there tests to check for
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> regressions ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The general idea sounds good.
+</I>&gt;<i> But that would make a pretty big wiki page, if we especially if we include
+</I>&gt;<i> big apps like LibreOffice &amp; Postgresql.
+</I>&gt;<i> Maybe link each bigger app to a standing bugz report for that purpose ?
+</I>&gt;<i> It would be pretty hard to make even close to complete regression tests for
+</I>&gt;<i> bigger apps as well. (imagine 599 tests for LibreOffice ...)
+</I>
+I think the goal is not to do full regression tests, as we don't have
+time for this. But do minimal testing, in 1 or 2 minutes, to check that
+basic functionality is still working, to check that the update didn't
+break everything. For LibreOffice that could be opening a test document.
+Most applications are easy to test. But some require knowledge of the
+software, or some configuration files, to test, so we could keep a list
+of test commands or things to do and config files.
