The subject of functional testing is not new. The unity of conceptions and methods has been reached. Thus it’s needed to manage requirements, test-cases, results of test runs for each program setup, it’s also needed to manage metrics, to see the testing of customer requirements, to analyze the frequency of found mistakes, to calculate problem sites, to manage the testing team and demonstrate the whole process to the customer. For this purpose the specialized system for test management is needed.
But despite this consensus only one small part of companies use such system. The test management goes only in a strange way using unexpected tools — spreadsheets and word processors, bug trackers, wiki-systems and conventional version control systems.
Now we will study this process on the basis of our experience concerning implementation of some test-management systems and will report about our choice — the system Testopia, which “doesn’t take” any extra functions and leaves it for more specialized tools, integrating with some of them and
satisfying the needs only in “pure test management” functionality.
