8. Discussion
During the meeting, @sirlouen raised the issue of the Workflow Keywords, specifically around the keyword needs-testing-info, which has been causing confusion due to its similarity with needs-testing.
Two solutions were proposed, with the renaming of the keyword considered the most viable. Here, the objective is to enhance usability and maintain clarity in the keyword naming scheme. @joemcgill suggested the keyword needs-test-info, as it aligns better with the current format of existing workflow keywords.
A quick poll was conducted during the meeting, and the majority voted for the following naming convention:
needs-test-infohas-test-info
These changes will align testing-related keywords with the overall naming scheme used in the project.
@krupajnanda asked whether the core team would support implementing these changes once the updated keywords and their intended usage are shared. @joemcgill confirmed his willingness to assist with this.
@sirlouen mentioned that once @muddassirnasim completes the meeting notes, he will forward the information to @dd32 for inclusion in the official Trac documentation.
