I'm looking at TestLink as a possible alternative to our existing test management software and wondered if anyone out there could answer my questions regarding its suitability. Basically what we need out of our test management solution is the capability to arrange test cases in suites, and group suites together for execution in schedules. We need the ability to set up those schedules to be executed at specified future timepoint(s).
What we really need is for each test case to launch a process on a remote Windows machine and have the return value of that process indicate the test pass/fail value back to TestLink (or use some other TestLink api to message the test pass/fail status back). Currently our web based test management software interacts with a piece of software running on each Windows pc on which automated tests are run in order to have those pcs execute automated test cases and indicate pass/fail status via a process return code. We also need to store test configuration data in our test management software (i.e. on a per test cases basis) that can then be passed through to the test case when it is launched.
On top of this we need the ability to create and store 'manual' tests as just a bunch of documented test steps.
These all seem like standard things folks might want so I'm guessing it would all be doable, just wanted some confirmation on that.
