Either paid or free open source is fine.
I'm creating automation frame work. Idealy it includes:
test plan management,
test manager across windows, unix, linux, solaris and other os.
UML documentation for python scripts
IDE tool for python on windoes and linux
UI design tool for python(best is integrated with IDE)
Wonder any recommend?
