Litmus is a web-based, open source, test case management/QA tool maintained by the Mozilla Corporation/Mozilla Foundation. Litmus can be downloaded from the Mozilla CVS server.

Mozilla [http://litmus.mozilla.org/ uses the tool to test] its own products.

Requirements

Litmus depends on Apache (web server) and MySQL (database software). It also requires the following Perl modules:

* Class::DBI
* Class::DBI::mysql
* Template
* Time::Piece
* Time::Piece::mysql
* Time::Seconds
* Date::Manip
* HTML::StripScripts
* HTML::StripScripts::Parser
* Text::Markdown
* XML::XPath

The use of the Apache module mod perl is highly recommended as it highly improves the performance of the software, but not required.
