## What it is
Kiwi TCMS is an open source test case management system for organizing manual and automated testing, featuring test plans, test runs, bug tracker integrations, and a JSON-RPC/XML-RPC API. It is deployed as a Docker container and includes plugins for popular test automation frameworks.

## Use cases
- manage test cases and test plans for QA teams
- track manual test execution results
- collect automated test results from pytest or JUnit
- integrate test management with Jira or Bugzilla
- generate testing telemetry and reports before release
- self-host a test management system
- report bugs with one click from failed test runs

## When to choose
- you need a dedicated test case management system for manual and automated testing
- your QA team wants test plans, runs, and bug tracker integration in one tool
- you want a self-hosted, containerized TCMS with an API for automation frameworks

## When to avoid
- you only need a test runner or assertion library rather than test management
- you want a lightweight issue tracker without test case structure
- you require a fully managed SaaS with no self-hosting
