'''TestLink''' is a free web-based open-source test management application for managing software quality assurance.

==Product history==

TestLink was created by Chad Rosen, a software developer for Good Technology in the early 2000s. Rosen came up with the idea of creating a test tracking tool after the development team he worked on had difficulties manually tracking QA test results and which test cases were and were not completed. Desiring a more efficient system of test tracking and a better way for developers to see what the QA team was doing, Rosen and his manager Mike Belshe programmed TestLink.<ref name="TLBelkeStory">{{cite web |url=http://www.belshe.com/software/ |title=Mike's Lookout - Software |author=Belshe, Mike |publisher=Mike Belshe |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref> Afterwards, Good Technology gave permission to release the TestLink software as open-source<ref name="TLBelkeStory" />, with a SourceForge project starting September 25, 2003 and a first release of the software as a .sql file on October 17.<ref name="TLFirstFiles" /> Version 1.0.4 — released on May 17, 2004<ref name="TLFirstFiles" /> — was the final version Rosen worked on before leaving the open-source project.<ref name="TLRoad">{{cite web |url=http://www.teamst.org/index.php/roadmap |title=Roadmap |publisher=Martin Havlát |date=07 July 2004 |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref> Despite Rosen's departure, steady work continued on the project, with Francisco Mancardi eventually taking lead of the development team.

On February 12, 2011 the project began preparations to move the code repository from SourceForge and CVS to Gitorious and GIT due to both a security attack on SourceForge and past refusals of potential contributors to help the project due to CVS being used.<ref name="TLGITMove">{{cite web |url=http://www.teamst.org/index.php/news-mainmenu-2/1-latest/105-code-moved-from-cvs-to-git |title=Code moved from CVS to GIT |publisher=Martin Havlát |date=09 March 2011 |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref><ref name="TLGitorious">{{cite web |url=http://gitorious.org/testlink-ga |title=TestLink - Open Source Test Management |publisher=Gitorious |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref>

In November 2012, TestLink was the winner of open-source project BitNami's bi-weekly packaging contest, to be packaged as part of the BitNami Library.<ref name="TLBitNami1">{{cite web |url=http://blog.bitnami.org/2012/11/testlink-now-available-in-bitnami.html |title=TestLink now available in BitNami |author=Rueda, Beltrán |publisher=BitNami.org |date=13 November 2012 |accessdate=16 November 2012}}</ref>
