Task Descriptions
This can be removed by who ever is assigning the task if it isn't helpful.
The parent task should have links to:
• Test Plan
• Design Brief (if one)
• Design Notes (if any)
The initial instructions for the task can go in the details, though they could also go in as a comment, if there is going to be more of a conversation.
Thanks for hanging in there.
