Test management is defined by Wikipedia a part of the software testing process that includes the planning of tests, their execution and the storage and analysis of the tests results. This is achieved also by the integration with requirements management tools, functional software testing tools like Selenium or Cucumber, continuous integration tools like Jenkins or TeamCity, bug tracking tools like Bugzilla or Mantis, project management tools like Trello Redmine or JIRA.

This article presents a list of open source test management tools. If you want to add a tool that fits these requirements to this article, just let us now using our contact form.
