Is there a good tool for documenting / monitoring system tests?

Question

I am looking for a tool for designing, documenting and monitoring system tests for a product.

The basics of what I need: 1) A tool that can be some kind of Inheritance between tests (i.e. One test that installs another or several).

2) A tool that will allow me to track specific test runs separately for each version (i.e., for version 1.1 of the product, we ran these specific tests from all the tests that are documented).

3) A tool that will allow you to carry out some “tagging” of an arbitrary form of tests (that is, I can group the same test into several groups: regression tests, functionality test, ui test ... one test can be all three in one time).

4) Optional. The tool will allow me to run scripts of "automated tests" (automated using an automation system developed internally, so it should allow many ways to associate with it).

One tool I found might work: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TestCaseManagementPlugin

This has the added benefit of working with Trac, which we are starting to use for bug tracking / mission tracking. If someone can recommend (or give good reason not to use it), he will also be very grateful.

thanks

Answer 1

TestLink is a good open source tool for managing system tests; It is widely used in active development and has integration with Trac. He should do most of what you need.
