Test management is basically everything that testers and QA teams do to manage the software testing process or lifecycle.
Test case management tools enable software testers and Quality Assurance (QA) teams to manage test case environments, automated tests, bugs and project tasks.

OpenSourceTesting carries a large database of software testing tools. The database is a directory with descriptions of each tool and a link to the official website of the tool's developer.
Yes their is a site where you can access information regarding software testing tool and you could purchase software from them as well. The website address is www.softwaretesting.net.
Software testing is carried out to ensure that the software package is capable of performing the necessary requirements for it's purpose. It should be carried out before the release of the software to the customer. Functional, parametric, integration and regression testing should all be included.
Static testing of software is where methods are used to detect defects in the software but the software is not actually executed.Some static testing methods are:Code inspections, where software code is manually reviewed for defectsCode analyzers, where code is analyzed by a tool that will check the code for things such a type errors, memory leaks, syntax errors, etc.Compiling, compiling code using the source compiler, or interpreter.Modeling techniques, where software requirements can be modeled to verify that they are correct.Answer by Johnmm, SoftwareTesting.net
One of the best reasons to test software is to evaluate whether the software performs as you would expect it to perform. Software is tested in many different situations: - Testing during development (test-driven development, ...) - Testing before delivery to the customer - Testing performed by the customer before buying (a trial, demo etc.) - Testing done by the customer during use of the software When writing software it is almost impossible to avoid introducing bugs (misbehaviour) into the programs. Testing helps find these bugs and helps improve the software. More testing: - Testing whether the software conforms to a specification - Testing whether the software is compatible with some other software ...
Absolutely both are different platforms. Software Testing is the process to test the software/application fix without any bugs. Software Quality assurance is all about the delivering the right product to the end user.
meet with system users to understand the scope of projects. work with software developers and project support teams. identify business requirements. plan projects. monitor applications and software systems. carry out stress testing, performance testing, functional testing and scalability testing.
Yes there are websites that provide information on personal software testing. Some of these websites are 'Software-Testing', 'Wikipedia' and 'Software Testing Fundamentals'.
Manual testing is the process of testing manually software for errors and bugs. It requires a tester to play the role of an error finder whereby they use most of their analyzation features to ensure correct behavior. Basically it is a type of Software Testing where Testers manually execute test cases without the use of any tools.
Software testing techniques are approaches you take towards running a test case. For example at the highest level you may take a black box approach or a white box approach to testing a piece of software. Where with a black box approach you don't understand the internals of the software you are testing but you do know what range of inputs the software can accept and from that you can deduce the expected results. With a white box approach you have a much better understanding of how the software works (perhaps you've been involved in a code review with the developers) and you can create your tests based on exercising the code knowing that the software should do x, y and z with the inputs. Software testing tools however would be employed to help you achieve the approaches you plan to take with testing a piece of software. So taking the black box testing approach discussed above you may use a test data generation tool to help you create the inputs for your black box testing technique. Another example would be using a data comparison test tool to compare expected results with actual results once the tests have been exercised. So in conclusion a test technique describes the approach you might take to test a piece of software, where as a software testing tool would be a method you employ to help you achieve the aims of the software test.
Software testing is evaluating the performance of a software program. Fancy teams for software testing might be the Integrated Development Examiners or the Warez (catchall slang term for software) Evaluators.
