The user will have to perform all the test steps manually and inform the system of the result.
The ultimate goal of test management tools is to deliver sensitive metrics that will help the QA manager in evaluating the quality of the system under test before releasing.
Metrics are generally presented as graphics and tables indicating success rates, progression/regression and much other sensitive data.
There are several commercial and open source test management tools available in the market today.
Most test management tools are web-served applications that need to be installed in-house, while others can be accessed as software as a service.
