Original status: 1-Dispatched; Suggested Status: NEW Original Target Release: coke_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : 5.5 These items should be added to the Status Whiteboard: MONROVIA Original submitter: lchang Request: When creating a test case, it would be nice if the expected output.xml file generated a sample template like the input.xml file. Right now we only fill out the output.xml file after the first run. However, more often than not your first run will not be correct if you are working on a more complex project, so it does not make sense to use the output from your first run as the expected output.
Even if the first run's result might not be correct, it is closer to the correct output. It's the user's responsibility to manually modify the output.xml based on the first run's result. I guess what we could do is to alert the user about the automatic generation of golden output after the first run.
There is no way to generate golden output without the first run.
