How to write test cases and test steps in redmine

Question

I am working at a company that uses Redmine as the issue tracking tool and for user stories. I need to design the QA for them. However I didn't find a section where someone can tie a user story or an issue with a test case. I've used to have this functionality on Rally. Is there a free tool that integrates with Redmine or something like a plugin? I want the following (or the more the better!)

Description

test steps (input-output)

Status (pass-fail)

Suite name (the suite the test is part of)

Attached issues

Version of SW under test

Thanks in advance

There is a "test case management" section in the Redmine Third Party tools documentation.

How is your experience with redcase? I am facing some issues in it. – some_other_guy Dec 04 '14 at 12:08

One thing I often see is people trying to adapt tools to do things that they were not originally designed for. Redmine is a good tool for issue tracking and is designed mainly to be a project management tool, although it is possible to adapt redmine, I would suggest in this case looking for a dedicated test management tool that has been designed to do that specific job.

I would suggest looking at TestLodge test management tool which I have worked on and is a designed to help you manage and execute your tests but at the same time integrates with Redmine and does things like automatically create tickets whenever a test fails.

By doing this, you are going to benefit from a range of things such as an interface designed for testing that will make you and your team a lot more productive along with a series of reports that will allow you to spot trends within your testing.
