Français

À installer comme un plugin classique, décompresser l'archive dans le répertoire plugin et renommer le dossier simplement "redcase". Ensuite lancer la mise à jour de la base de données (faire un backup auparavant !) pour ajouter les tables nécessaires au plugin avec cette commande :

bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Redémarrer le serveur applicatif (Puma ou autre)

Ensuite, ajouter les trackers "Test Case" à vos projets et aussi le tracker "Bug" si vous ne l'avez pas (utile pour rapporter un bug sur un test non concluant).

Bon à savoir : Pour déplacer les cas de tests dans l'onglet "Test Case", il est nécessaire que ces derniers soient au statut "In Progress".
