== Workflow Testing ==
The goal of this section is to verify that the various [:Workflows: workflows] described for Cytoscape do actually work. In addition to the workflows described, we will also verify that each [:Presentations: tutorial] also works. The output of these tests will be different than simply a checklist. The goal is to capture the steps in the workflow in a screencapture movie. The movie should capture the screen as a user follows each step in the workflow or tutorial. Audio commentary is preferred since this allows to both see and hear the steps being followed.

The Cytoscape Test Plan

The purpose of this document is to describe testing procedures to ensure that new releases of Cytoscape do not break existing functionality. The release is broken down into two general sections: Coverage Testing and Workflow Testing.
