Testpad vs. Zephyr

While It is clear that you need a Test Management tool to help manage your Quality Assurance process, it is less clear how should you choose one. There are so many test case management tools all claiming to be the best, it’s hard to know which one will deliver on that promise. The truth is there is no “best tool”, there is only the “best tool for you”. When trying to decide which tool you should work with, you need to look for the “must have” functionalities your QA process demands.
