How to effectively manage manual tests in project?

Question

In our team we faced problem of manual tests management. We have a suite of unit tests that keeps the project stable but we also ocasionally test our aplication manually based on some scenarios (to check if everything is OK on the highest level).

The question is: how to effectivelly manage manual tests scenarios? They can change from time to time as application changes. Is there other way to update text files or wikis? How to track if someone did some test and what were the results?

Do you know tools addressed to this issue (test case management)?

Answer 1

Well, there sure are tools.

Lately we've had some presentation of MS Test Manager, although I am aware of other tools (Quality Center, Doors, etc... and even some Open Source ones).

We are actually managing them with EXCEL sheets, but since our number of manual test cases is ever-growing we are considering to start using some Test Management tool.
