- QA has been working on a new Test Case Management tool (to replace Litmus later in 2012). And for some tl;dr reasons, we’re looking for a new name before the 3/30 release of 1.0. We have a short list of names and would love for YOU, the Community, to chime in this week with your opinions and creativity. We’ll choose the new name this weekend.
