Management of test cases is highly important in software test management as it helps to identify errors in the requirements or the design of an application or software. The new test management software that is now available helps in easy test case management.

• Test leads can create a test case repository that can be built from scratch or inherited from previous releases or imported or is a combination thereof.
• It allows complete flexibility as you can either drag & drop test cases or entire repositories and you can follow your standardized structure or create a new one.
• You can assign entire test phases or systems or sub-systems or individual test cases which instantly show up in the tester’s test case creation application.
• Live charts help you to track which test cases have been assigned, how much has been created and so on.
• It allows you to track all your manual and automated test scripts from one place.
• It helps you keep track of what percentage of test cases is automated and also allow you to schedule them for execution.

Affordable and Feature-Rich Software Test Management Tool

Software test management is a complicated as well as a costly process. Statistics show that a large percentage of money goes into tracking and fixing bugs. But now with the global economic recession, these rates are bound to shoot up. The IT sector which is already affected by this economic instability will be affected all the more aggressively, if the prices show a tendency to go up.

A new test management system tracks both manual and automation tests and has an easy to use interface. Not only that, it provides real time metrics about the amount and level of automation that test suites have.

The advanced test management systems enhance the performance of the QA methodologies chosen as part of the software development process and also help in tracking metrics, be it progress metrics, defect metrics, project metrics, testing metrics and so on.

Defect Tracking Management Now Quite Easy

At a time when global economic instability has caused prices to shoot up, it is truly a welcome relief to the QA test management team to get a test management system that is highly affordable. What makes the new test management software awesome is the fact that it comes with a built in defect tracking system.

Some test management tools have a two-way integration with defect management systems. You can add, search, modify and track the defects. QA testers can identify and track bugs and issues with automated defect tracking tools making software test management a quicker process.

A test management system helps in effective defect tracking management and increases productivity at low cost.
