What is the best free test tracking software?

Question

I'm not talking about bug tracking software (like Bugzilla or Jira). I'm looking for something that:

1. Stores test specifications in text format
2. Combines test specs into test coverage scenarios
3. Keeps track of the progress through testing scenarios
4. Links test specs with bug reports stored in Bugzilla
5. Generates progress reports
6. Is centrally managed on its own (i.e. is not a hack/extension on top of something else)

Answer 1

I haven't used this (yet), but Testopia seems to meet all your requirements, especially the one about Bugzilla.

Answer 2

I have personally used Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) which combines a simple issue tracker with Wiki functionality. Solved the need I had on my project.

Take a look at this similar question - some of the suggestions may be helpful: simple-bug-tracking-suggestions

Answer 4

A while back I briefly looked at the free version of QaTraq. Although I left the team I was considering it for before we every got very far with the project, it was the frontrunner of the options I looked at at the time.

It's got quite a nice interface, and what seemed to me to be a very sensible test planning structure. I think one of the big downsides was the the open source version didn't have table support in the WYSIWYG test case editor - Not a showstopper, and could be fixed with a little development effort or by spending some money on the professional version.

Answer 5

TestLink is a pretty nice open source test tracking tool with the features you need, and is still under active development. Take a look at http://www.teamst.org/index.php

Answer 6

RTH is another open source test management tool
