Hi all
Would it be possible to have a Bugzilla category for test case bugs?
The only alternative seems to be to raise a bug against the
implementation - which doesn't seem quite right.

Why not simply put them in the related category? For example GD for a
problem in a GD test. With an extra category, I will simply not see
any bugs related to my extension tests, even when I'm fetching the
'GD' category bugs.
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 :-)

What would rock is a bug "type" field. A bug can be GD and Testing
related, or Ming and Documentation.
