Morning all,
I'm starting down the road of writing a test plan for the Help system I've written. Hoping someone already has an outline that I can start from. Anyone?
My rough plan starting out is to test:
Does anyone test any other areas? Just curious.

if you use conditional build tags, wouldn't hurt to add a few spot checks to make sure that the build expression is actually excluding
what you want it to.

Imarden,
Good point - I'm only using CBTs to exclude topics from output, so my testing is pretty easy. But for folks using CBTs to exclude text or do coditional text for different outputs, things could get messy.
I suppose one could incorporate the Build Tags report into the test plan.

Any concerns about print issues? Search/glossary/index issues?

I don't have any print worries as I work for a web service company. Others might, and would need to have sections in their test plan for each type of SSL output.
Search and Index testing I'm working on, though I'm only spot checking of course. I've not yet implemented a Glossary as I haven't decided whether to use RH's built-in glossary functionality or simply create one topic with alphabetical links as described in other posts on this forum. Probably next version.

this is a good topic - looking forward to hearing all input, as it's about time I insisted on our Help being treated with the
same process and consideration as the application.
