It is very important to successfully complete these steps to release quality software by avoiding bug or quality issue as far as possible. Identifying any bug or other issue manually is possible sometimes but not always. Moreover, manual detection is time-consuming affair and effects on the quality of the software also. Thus, Software Tools help an organization to address these issues carefully and effectively.

The different types of tools used for such purpose includes project management tools, change management tools, test management tools, agile tools etc.

Project management tools are used to manage any software project followed by helping developers and project-coordinator to finish project with required features and functionalities. These tools have features like allocating and managing project resource, roles, responsibilities and accessing rights. Create and manage project task for both development and testing on project level and requirement level, create and maintain action item list for both testing and development. Managing risk during project, creating and maintaining project timeline for entire project task, managing product release are some of the important features of such Software Tools.

Change management tools help to understand and manage changes effectively and utilize techniques to manage changes successfully. Quality change management tools has features like ability to create change request either based on existing requirement or as new feature, associate required change request to present requirement for creating new requirement version and allowing developers to impact analysis information for each change request for testing team.

Test management tools help a software project to manage testing as well as testing results effectively for maintaining the desired quality of the software. Test management tools thus have features like allowing developers and testers to access information about testing or test easily. These tools also have other features like following SBDT to design test scenarios, test cases and test scripts, creating test cases based on use case scenarios, maintain traceability between requirements, scenarios, test cases, test sets and test scripts.

These Software Tools are extremely effective in maintaining the market standard of the released software. However, a highly careful selection is recommended to ensure that organization benefits from all the features of these tools. Comparing the features of tools offered by different vendors can help in identifying the right tool.
