Comparison of Test Management Tools

Test management is the activity of managing a software testing process. It’s an important phase to focus on in order to get high-quality software. Examples include creating and executing test cases. To manage these activities, we use test management tools. There are currently lots of user-friendly test management tools available on the market. Some are open source and some are licensed.

Why Test Management Tools:

  • A test management tool acts as a common place where all the test cases required for execution are stored so updates to the test cases reach all members involved in it
  • Repetition of work can be avoided
  • Increased productivity in a short duration

The test management tools used for comparison are PractiTest, Qmeter, TestRail, Zephyr, qTest, TestLodge, Testuff, Testcollab, Gemini, and TestLink. All of these tools have their own pros and cons. The tool comparison matrix below will help in selecting the best test management tool based on the requirements.

Thoughts on “Comparison of Test Management Tools”

  1. Interesting, but when you mention there’s open source and there’s licensed tools, I expected to see that in the overview as well.
    Also, do you think HP-ALM would fit in the overview?
    Have a nice day,

  3. Monisha,

    Thanks for sharing this comparison.

    When we were looking for a test management tool we tested Testrail, TestLodge and PractiTest.

    We compared some features and found the requirements and defect management featured of Testrail and TestLodge were not fulfilling our needs, We are satisfied with PractiTest.
