Test management tools

Test management tools
 Test management tools often need to interface with other tools or spreadsheets for various reasons, including:
    - To produce useful information in a format that fits the needs of the organization
    - To maintain consistent traceability to requirements in a requirements management tool
  - To link with test object version information in the configuration management tool
 This is particularly important to consider when using an integrated tool (e.g., Application Lifecycle Management), which includes a test management module (and possibly a defect management system), as well as other modules (e.g., project schedule and budget information) that are used by different groups within an organization
