Test case management tools
What tools do you use for creating and managing tests and executing them? I’m not thinking of DUnit/X – but manual, hands on tests, although integrating with automated testing would be a bonus.
Test case management tools

I don’t know the name of our current product, but we are currently evaluating TestRail (http://www.gurock.com/testrail/) with Jira integration.
I am writing framework-independent tests and integrate them with DUnit in Delphi and FPCUnit in Lazarus.
It depends on what is being tested. Different tools for different jobs. What works in one setting may be useless in another.

TestRail is a candidate, we are also taking a look at Zephyr. Martin Wienold
The intent is for writing test cases for our GUI apps i.e. going through the hundreds of typical operations that the end user will do.
Edit:
Also, the execution of the test plan should allow for registering defects – i.e. a failed test.
We are most keen on using a tool that integrates well with Jira.

Lars Fosdal Zephyr is the tool we currently use.
Martin Wienold But you want to switch away? Why? Price or function?
Lars Fosdal I’m not sure, I think it is missing a function or it is not easy to use with one of our usecases.
I would have to ask our QA Manager to be more specific.
We’re in the need for something similar.
Lars Fosdal I just asked our qa manager, there were a few reasons why he was net very happy with Zephyr.
According to him, one can not assign a test case to another person.
That sounds like a show stopper, since we rotate test tasks a bit.
Lars Fosdal Just don’t take my word for it, evaluate it and test your usecases.

We’ve had success with Continua CI with embedded FinalBuilder project for Delphi builds and running automated tests.
Rick Wheeler I think Lars Fosdal is seeking a tool where one can define usecases for an application. It’s not for unit or integration tests but a checklist like test done by the QA to the whole product.
Take a look at the TestRail link I posted above, there are a few examples.
We are already using Continua CI + FinalBuilder and DUnitX. As Martin says, this is primarily for the tests that can’t easily be automated.
I’m using fitnesse, using the webservice plugin. I build a soap-service for the public interfaces I want to test.
It’s a wiki/test framework build by uncle bob.
As said above, different tool for different stuff. This is one I had to write myself:
