Software test management is a complicated as well as a costly process. Statistics show that a large percentage of money goes into tracking and fixing bugs. But now with the global economic recession, these rates are bound to shoot up. The IT sector which is already affected by this economic instability will be affected all the more aggressively, if the prices show a tendency to go up.

In such a scenario when companies are thinking of ways to cut back the increasing costs software test management tools that come easy on the pocket are indeed a welcome relief.

A new test management system tracks both manual and automation tests and has an easy to use interface. Not only that, it provides real time metrics about the amount and level of automation that test suites have.

The advanced test management systems enhance the performance of the QA methodologies chosen as part of the software development process and also help in tracking metrics, be it progress metrics, defect metrics, project metrics, testing metrics and so on.
