Kopete Test Plan

[Geoff Huang]

Thanks for your response.  I'm surprised by the lack
of comments from others, however, given the length of
the previous thread.  I'd really like to see KDE
projects (well, all projects) follow this methodology.
 I strongly believe in repeatability of testing.  If
there's no baseline for comparison, how can we ever
gauge if quality improves or degrades?
