The goal of this thesis is to describe the Application lifecycle management (ALM), with a focus on two aspects of this system. The aspects are: the application for the administration of requirements JIRA and the application for the administration of the testing system Testlink. The basis for this endeavor was my practical experience with the implementation of the process ALM in the company LMC. Application lifecycle management is an essential part of companies focused on management processes for software development and it can thus improve their features, from the defining stage to the installation in the production sphere. In my thesis I focus on the application JIRA, as a replacement tool for the administration of requirements and the application Testlink, which is software for the administration and test management. The result aims to conclude whether these applications fulfilled the initial representations of the company and the requirements in the ALM framework. An evaluation of the positive and negative aspects during implementation is being carried, with a look at the effective implementation into practice. I shall try to define the general areas where eventual failures can be detected during the implementation process and that should be carried in mind during the process.

Denna rapport analyserar testhanteringsverktyg åt Statens Kriminaltekniska Laboratorium. Ett testhanteringsverktyg är ett samlingsnamn på ett verktyg som testar och dokumenterar resultatet på diverse mjukvarutester. I rapporten analyseras tre gratisverktyg, deras funktioner och hur man går tillväga för att använda dem. De tre verktyg som används och betygsätts är Testia Tarantula, TestLink och Testopia. TestLink är det verktyg som får flest poäng, men det är inte det verktyg som slutligen rekommenderas. Denna rapport är användbar för större företag som behöver ett testhanteringsverktyg med krav på hög kvalitet på genomförande och dokumentation.

The goal of this thesis is to design a user interface and to implement an application that is used for test execution in test management tool TestLink. This application is designed to streamline and simplify the process of test execution in this tool. The theoretical part of the thesis describes features and the interface of TestLink and compares it with other similar tools. The practical part is focused on analysis, user interface design, and implementation of the application. The outcome of this thesis is in addition to the application itself also a library written in PHP, which is used for communication with the application programming interface of TestLink and which simplifies the creation of similar applications.

The aim of this thesis is to describe the process of analysis and design in software testing, principles of using the test management tool TestLink and further in the practical part extend the possibilities of data import into this tool with the help of a newly created application. The theoretical part focuses on the use of test management systems in the area of analysis and design in software testing and the description of functionality and supported areas, including the current shortcomings of selected systems. The practical part is solved in collaboration with Tesena, s.r.o., a software testing company. The outcome of the thesis is an application enabling the import of test requirements, test cases with steps and test results from commonly used formats into the TestLink tool. The application focuses on the area of preparation of test cases and enables acceleration of the work process during test analysis and design; i.e. a problem which the company experiences when managing a large amount of tests, as the standard import is partially non-functional and relatively complex.
