Nitrate

Nitrate a new test case management system, it's written in Python and uses the Django web framework.

The TCMS provides:

  • Managers with a source of information on planning, cases and execution status.
  • Reproducibility across planning, cases and execution.
  • Audit traceability.
  • Increased productivity - Associates are able to identify and work on gaps in product coverage.
  • Fully functional XML-RPC interface.
  • Multiple authentication backends.

"If it is not in the TCMS then we do not do it", and the converse: "If we do it then it is in the TCMS". That motto has been the paradigm driving the development of the TCMS. The development team has created a canonical source of information about testing that is useful to both managers and QE Associates.
