Bug Description

Nothing critical, but for some tests, there is simply no question asked. I know it's quite obvious that "yes" means that it's working and "no" that there is a problem, but it could be improved.

Example of a test without a question : power management suspend and resume test. No question, and if it's not working, I'm asked to "mark this test as Failed". Failed is not an option. I just have "yes", "no", "skip".

So it's simply about improving the description and question. Or replacing the "yes" "no" by "successful" "failed" maybe.

Hi Francois,

This particular test description is fixed in trunk, and it's our intention to ensure all tests have clear descriptions for the next release. Thanks for pointing this out.

My own feeling is that by the time this test has been reached, the tester will know that 'Yes' entails the test worked and 'No' entails it didn't. Still for a cleaner user experience I recommend we update this description, so I've targeted it for the SRU.

The test's description now includes a VERIFICATION section that asks "Did your system suspend and resume correctly?". The "mark this test as failed" part remains, and could potentially be amended to say "select `no` to indicate the test failed. I'll mark this Fix Committed and if more confusion arises we could review the text again.
