Thank you for the information. I did not add TestRail to the list since there is a cost to it. However, I will add it to a future list which I list the tools that do cost money. Stay tuned.

Thanks,

I agree that this just doesn't make sense for a lot of teams, but there ARE some professional products that are easy to try (and use) and don't cost $100 per user/per month.<br><br>- I may get flamed for this, but some of the open source test management tools have some confusing user interfaces, making it hard for non-technical persons on the team to get used to. If you have some non-technical users (your boss?) who also need to access the system, an intuitive (and productive!) UI is critical.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Dennis I know that you specifically asked for _open source_ tools, but I want to mention our new test management tool TestRail (http://www.gurock.com/testrail/) anyway, because of the following reasons:

As far as I know it is based on an old version of RTH and was not developed any further.<br><br>Do you have any detailed information on this?

My favorite is TestMaster mainly because it does charts and the ability to import and export test cases. Thank you Justin for the positive feedback and for putting the poll together.
