TestLink
What is a Test Link?
TestLink is an open-source test management tool that is used for project management, bug tracking, and test management. It is a web-based tool that allows you to create test projects and document test cases with ease. TestLink supports both manual and automated testing, and it allows you to filter test cases with keywords, versions, or Test case IDs.
Test Link also has a bug-tracking system. Additionally, in TestLink, you can work with bug-tracking software like Mantis to manage your defects efficiently.
