Test Management Tools are software that organize and present for evaluation the unified results of tests so that judgments about the quality and readiness of applications and services that are presently under testing can be more accurately and justifiably made.
We’ve collected videos, features, and capabilities below. Take me there.
Test management tools are used to manage the entire testing process comprehensively, eliminating the need for multiple software tools to manage individual steps in the testing process.
Test management tools enable businesses to find and manage bugs, track tests, and enable collaboration on projects. The result is that businesses can achieve a better software development process using test management tools. Test management tools also include analytics features so businesses can easily determine how successful tests have been for each project.
Some test management tools include requirements management to streamline test case design.
The following features are commonly offered by test management solutions:
Track the number of tests planned, and run with pass/fail results tabulation.
Schedule tests to be executed whether manually or automatically.
Track testing schedule and budget.
Enable collaboration and easy communication across multiple project teams.
When choosing a test management tool for your business, there are a few factors that you should consider. First, integrations with other analytics tools. If you use other reporting and monitoring tools, being able to integrate them together enables businesses to save time and generate higher quality insights.
Another feature to consider is automation features. Many test management tools remove manual processes, while others focus more on tracking and analytics. Businesses should choose a tool that can reduce manual processes if that is something they want to achieve.
Lastly, usability is another factor to consider. Many test management tools are tricky to use but offer advanced analytics and automation features, while others are more simple but offer a weaker featureset. You should consider the capabilities of your staff when choosing a solution.
Test management tools typically charge via a monthly subscription, and most offer a free trial so you can try out a tool before making a purchasing decision. Businesses should expect to pay $20.00-30.00 per month, with rates increasing as feature needs increase.
