Oudated: Alpha Test Plan

MV3D is way past anything mentioned in this page.

This document describes what must be tested and validated for during the alpha test phase of the project. These are seperated by version and go backwards through the versions. The reason for the order is so that you realize that new versions must pass all tests from all previous versions (as long as they still apply :) )

Tests should be added here after completing functionality and closing tickets.
