Add Test Manager Application
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

Hello, I would like to see a Test Manager Application be developed for Phabricator, so that you can use Phabricator not just for development, but also for QA testing; one more phase of the development cycle covered!

I could give a long description of what features it should have, but instead, I'm going to add a link to the Test Manager Plugin for Trac, which has a pretty exhaustive list. Perhaps not all of it will be relevant to Phabricator, but it would be nice to have integration with Project Management, so that you can define test cases per project. Here's the link: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TestManagerForTracPlugin

Thanks a lot!

We have no plans to implement anything related to manual testing in the forseeable future. Three major reasons:

  • We have tons of other stuff on the roadmap.
  • We've seen very little demand for this, and many of the companies that currently use Phabricator have little or no manual QA.
  • Some of the stuff on the roadmap (Nuance, Harbormaster) is likely a requirement for this anyway.

Thanks for the response! I hope this task will help increase the demand for this. I think manual QA will always be a part of software development, as you can't automate everything.

We can bring this back if / when new requests come in. =D

I agree with it. I also would like to see this kind of tool in Phabricator
