I see a lot of questions about test management tools, but none of them seem to do quite what I want them to do. Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for? Here are the kinds of features that I want in a test management tool:

Must-have:

  • Easy to add and review test plans with execution steps
  • Tag tests to associate with a particular feature or task marker
  • Searchable (by tag or text search)
  • Free for a non-commercial, single-user project

Nice-to-have:

  • Web-based tool (there is no reason that I should have to downloading anything to accomplish what I need)

Don't care about:

  • Testing automation. I can write JUnits. This is a one-man pet project. I don't plan to do automated UI testing, or load testing, and I don't want to learn and configure some complex tool that does this.

I use VersionOne for development task tracking, and love their UI style, but in their interface (at least in the free version), test plans are not first-class citizens, and it's hard to get at them if you want to look at one that's not in the current iteration. I want to create a test plan which covers a functional area, then associate features, not the other way around.

hi, you should definitely try PractiTest : http://www.practitest.com

Added an important requirement that I neglected to mention: it should be free for a single-user, non-commercial project.

Check out Testopia
It's a test case management extension for Bugzilla. I've tried it a few years ago, it looked promising but still had some way to go. It's now managed by Mozilla which is good enough to give it a try in my book.

Thanks for the feedback, I will look at this when I get the chance and close off the question if it meets what I need
