I need to test a software, which tool should I choose?

Effective management of software testing requires the use of specialized tools to ensure high-quality results. These tools facilitate various activities such as organizing software requirements, maintaining a test directory, executing test campaigns, managing bugs, establishing links between related elements, and generating reports.
