Open Source Test Management Tools

Test management is defined by Wikipedia a part of the software testing process that includes the planning of tests and test cases, their execution and the storage and analysis of the tests results. This is achieved also by the integration with requirements management tools, functional software testing tools like Selenium or Cucumber (with the Gerkhin language), continuous integration tools like Jenkins or TeamCity, bug tracking tools like Bugzilla or Mantis, project management tools like Trello, Redmine or JIRA.

This article presents a list of open source test management tools. If you want to add to this article a tool that fits these requirements, just let us now using our contact form.

AgileTC

AgileTC is an agile online open source test case management platform that supports general capabilities such as test case collection management, use case hierarchical management, task management, schedule calculation, and multi-person implementation collaboration. It is suitable for software testing/developer use case writing, use case review, test task management and other scenarios.

AgileTC can associate use case sets with requirements, supports the import/export of xmind/xmind zen, and has rich search capabilities, such as searching based on use case set name, creator, management requirements, and creation time. Users can circle the test cases according to their priority and tags, and combine them into the test tasks they need. The user can mark the test status of the use case in the test task and view the overall progress of the test task.

AgileTC supports real-time collaborative editing of use case sets by multiple people. One person’s modification will be synchronized to other clients that open the same use case in real time, realizing more efficient test set writing and test execution collaboration. Support use case priority and custom labeling. The server and client have added a regular inspection and detection mechanism to ensure the stability of the connection. Support the automatic saving of the use case set in the scenario of abnormal connection (such as abnormal browser exit or system failure, etc.).

QuAck

QuAck is an open-source test management tool to store, manage test cases and test suites and execute them. This web-based service is much different from other test management tools available on the market. The main feature is that you don’t have to stick to a specific test tree. You can rebuild the tree of test cases on the fly – it will be based on test cases attributes. The service is built with integration patterns in mind. A pluggable architecture allows implementing custom authentication providers, integrations with tracking and test executing systems.

You can use the methodologies chosen by your company: TMap, ISTQB, SAFe, … You can formalize your tests according to an actions/results approach or according to a Gherkin formalism. The tool can automatically create your test case tree from the requirements they verify. Take advantage of advanced planning, organization and prioritization features to optimize test execution effort according to your constraints. Run your tests with Squash TM to frame manual test execution and trace the history of results. You can optimize your execution plans thanks to a wizard allowing you to identify the tests to be replayed according to the results of previous iterations (failed and/or blocked tests, related to anomalies, non-regression tests, etc.)(P).
