How to use Test Management System for success

Test Management encompasses anything and everything that we do as testers.  Our day-to-day activities include:

2. Creating and maintaining the test artifacts specific to each release /cycle that we have- requirements, test cases, etc.
3. Establishing traceability and coverage between the test assets
4. Test execution support – test suite creation, test execution status capture, etc.
5. Metric collection/report-graph generation for analysis
6. Bug tracking/defect management
