Gurock Software just released its new test management solution TestRail. TestRail is a web-based test case management software that helps software development teams and QA departments to efficiently manage, track and organize software testing efforts.
The free Community Edition of the Ajax-based web application Klaros-Testmanagement is now available in version 2.5.
The new release now provides integration with the popular open source project management and issue tracking system Redmine.
Anthony Scotney blogs about the principles LiquidTest was founded upon:
“There is a great article by 37signals called ‘Have an Enemy’. By knowing your ‘enemy’, you know what you don’t want to be. This is pretty much how LiquidTest was conceived. We knew there were problems in the Test Automation space and we knew there were a lot of questionable practices by some of the established players in the space…”

Testing the Limits with James Bach (part 1) is another great interview with James Bach. A must read if you are a tester, you hire testers, or you work with testers.
Nice, France and Hamburg, Germany—2009-12-08 XQual and froglogic GmbH today announced that XStudio 1.0, a free, cross-platform test management solution has been released, along with an integration for the popular automated GUI testing framework, Squish.
I am pleased to announce the open sourcing of the RemoteInstall Test Framework.
RemoteInstall is a pragmatic approach to testing and has been extremely successful at my day job. It leverages VMWare infrastructure and automates software installation and subsequent testing.

From http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/aa-ftt/ mailing list:
I attended Michael Bolton's session on exploratory testing a few years ago and it's fair to say it inspired me, even though my job duty specifically is as an automation guy. I built a series of Ruby modules to allow our exploratory testers to use the Ruby IRB, in combination with Watir, to make their exploratory testing more efficient.
Have there been any (or many) presentations specifically on this? I thought it might make a nice 40-minute presentation to show how you can create helper modules and have them auto-loaded when you load the watir-console, and then use them to help with ET. Some ways we've used a helper method for the watir-console are:
- Allowing the user to go to a specific spot in the web application by calling a single method.
- Calling a method with an integer as a parameter to tell it to do something multiple times
- Calling a method with a list as a parameter to send a collection of values to a method (such as creating users with specific names).
Anyway...does this sound like something that would be of value? Or too elementary? I'd love some feedback.
Thanks,
Jim
