STRATEGY: All procedures in spreadsheets.

Test procedures store most of the value generated by your test organization.  The defects they generate and the quality of your software ultimately determine the value of your test organization.

All test procedures written in a spreadsheet (XLS, GSheet) and in data-driven ready format provides the most flexibility for ease of automation and future manipulation.  Procedures can generate text natural language procedure (from the concatenation of data/procedure) for manual testing.  Separate tabs or worksheets should be used for unique scenarios.  Embrace the data-driven paradigm and change the way your organization views test procedures!
