Test management tools help development teams manage, track, and maintain their software tests. Unlike software testing tools or test automation software, test management software is not designed to run software tests themselves. Instead, developers use test management solutions to maintain test cases and test results in a repository-like structure, which are then turned into actionable reports.
Test management software integrates with software testing tools, test automation software, and other development tools. Test management tools provides the test cases and conditions, which are then used by testing solutions. By leveraging test management tools, businesses can keep better track of any and all tests that might need to be examined when building a software product, standardizing the conditions in which companies test their software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Test Management category, a product must:
Manage software tests and results in a repository-like structure
Support a variety of test types and methods, such as functional, performance, scalability, and usability
Deliver reports and metrics on tests and test usage
Integrate with other software development solutions and platforms
