Open source test management tool

Question

I have been in search for a simple test management tool which is open source and runs on Linux environment which I want to host it locally.

The key features I am looking out for are as follows:

1. Requirements management (can be of technical, design, functional, non-functional)
2. Test Plan creation using the selected requirements
3. test cases update, which additionally should have a clear mapping from requirement to test plan to test cases (in order to maintain traceability)
4. keep a place for test execution, as we keep running it in sprints, the impact based regression is also planned and should be selected during the test plan phase

I have explored few options like TestLink, Tarantula, xQual etc, but still unsatisfied as they would need a huge set of configurations to be done and afraid of choosing them as it might not be best bet for an agile kind of environment.

I was pretty inline with the tool Tarantula, but unfortunately the support ended and the code pushed into git is currently running through a lot of errors and is taking up a huge time inorder to start using it.

So any good advice of tools around this kind of test management is welcome and I am open to try out various tools (but we are kind of looking for specific open source/free tools).

Answer 1

After reviewing recent open source tools, we've put a blog post together listing all the free test case management tools which are currently available.

The top tools which we found are:

• Tarantula - Open source tool that is suitable for agile testing.
• Testopia - An extension of Bugzilla, a traditionally bug tracking tool.
• qaManager - Another option which has options to track releases.
• TestLink - One of the most common tools which people often turn to.

If anyone finds any tools that we've missed, please do let me know.
