In this post, i will share my views & findings with Open Source Test Management Tools. Usage of tools in the Test Management is becoming the basic need & It will be tough to manage the activities associated there with out any support from the tools.
The commercial tools in this segment are costly and may not fit into upcoming organizations budget. So i have been looking at Open Source Test Management tools. In the last week, I have evaluated some open source test management tools.
The following are my requirements for Test Management Tool
-
Capture the Requirements
-
Design Test Cases
-
Map Test Cases with Requirements
-
Link Bug reports with Test Case ID after the test execution
-
Test Execution Reports
-
Version Management for the Test Cases
-
Search Feature
The following tools are evaluated after the initial screening.
The above tools work with Apache, MySQL & PHP. Both the tools looks promising and the Test Link has some additional benefits in-terms of better reports and linking with popular issue trackers.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
You can have a look at GreenPepper (www.greenpeppersoftware.com). It is commercial but not expensive.
Do not hesitate if you have any question.

XStudio (http://www.xqual.com) also makes the deal. You should have a look, it allows to manage your tests, run your tests/automate execution, generate reports and handle bugs.
It also manages requirements and specification but I don’t know if you’re interested in it.
It’s free
