> Please find the sample test case format which Sri Lankan team is using.

The very first row in the test case format led me off on tangents.
While it is obvious that -- if an Activity is launched by clicking on
its icon -- its icon must be there :

What if the icon were not there ?

 -  Is it the fault of the Activity Developer (for not supplying an
icon_image that Sugar can display) ?

 -  Is it the fault of the distribution packager (for not building a
distribution that meets the user's expectations) ?

 -  Is it the fault of Sugar for having a graphics bug or database bug
that prevents proper display of the icon ?

 -  Is it the fault of the user for looking only at Ring View (when that
Activity is "unmarked" from 'favorites') ?

 -  Is it the fault of the user for having 'erased' that Activity ?


I'm wondering how many of the above potential reasons for not seeing the
Activity's icon might justify an  'Activity's test failed'  conclusion ?
