Requirements and Test Management Repository [RTMR]

What RTMR?

RTMR stands for Requirements and Test Management Repository translated Repository requirements management and testing .
This is a test tool open source software that allows:
manage software requirements throughout its life cycle
describe the scenarios and test cases to ensure the validation of these requirements
run test campaigns targeted
follow all the anomalies encountered during testing:
via the internal fault handler
via an external fault handler (bugzilla, mantis)
The solution includes a system for version management by project, by requirement, by scenario and test cases that keeps track of software changes and can easily cover all regression tests.

Why would a software testing tool?

The test objective is to validate the proper functioning of software to the needs and requirements gathered from users.
It ensures a sufficient level of quality during the development cycle and software life.
The test phase allows to identify such malfunctions, abnormalities or regression that prevent full or partial coverage requirements formluées initially and as functional changes.

The software testing tool comes at this time to structure, organize and target testing (risks, priorities ... etc.).

RTMR Why?

Although fundamental, the profession of software testing will become widespread only recently in the computational structures of small and medium sizes.
Although the panel of test tools grows, existing solutions are often architecturally binding (proprietary software) and require substantial financial investment (initial cost of licensing, training, maintenance) for the structures that need it.

Through RTMR, materializes the idea of an alternative open source solutions based on open (GNU / Linux, PostgreSQL, Qt), a robust architecture (3 others), while providing a rich client interface available on different platforms ( Linux , MacOS X and Windows ).
