That's reasonable. The reason that I asked was that all I'm doing is
writing functional tests - so, for example - if I make a mistake in a
functional test for "Filesystem" I don't necessarily see why the
developer working on Filesystem should have to look at it, or spend
their time fixing it. By the way, this came up because a colleague found
a mistake in a test and couldn't work out the right way to raise a defect.
I also noticed that there are separate categories for Documentation
defects - so it seemed to me to be consistent to have one for tests.
I'm happy to ask people to with raise them against the implementation
- I just didn't want to cause unecessary work for the core developers.
Of course I'm *hoping* that there won't be enough defects in the test
cases to cause anyone major headaches :-)
