Re: Test cases

Hey Chaals,  

Good point, I think that would make them much easier to read. Maybe include a column for a screenshot of the expected result as well (if that wasn’t already what you suggested)?

I’ll be happy to set up a free account for the test, if we want the same kind of setup as http://www.email-standards.org/acid-test/ which lets anyone easily send it to their addresses.

Cheers,
Stig
