So Ido from www.testuff.com posted about their Test Management Tool which is currently a Beta version:

He asked us to have a look.
I've only had a quick look but;
Video Recorder - Annoying you can only play the last video recorded, should be able to browse them and select the video.
Login screen - Top left of the login screen displays 'Connecting to https://service.testuff.com'
Bug Reporter - When you click 'Submit Bug' the 'Submitting bug' progress bar flashes up for a second but then nothing happens, you're left with the 'Bug Reporter' screen and no 'Bug submitted' or anything message and your options are to try submitting again or 'Cancel' or close using the cross.
- The 'Cancel' button doesn't give you a prompt before cancelling.
- 'Bug Reporter' launches behind 'Test Runner'.
Submitting a bug and recording - If I submit a bug while recording the recording stops but the recorded screen area brackets remain until the video recorder is closed.
- If I've recorded a video and then launched two 'Bug Reporter' screens the video is attached to both.
- There's no option to detach/remove a video from the defect raised.
Back up to Excel - I can back up to Excel, how do I perform a restore? If it's a reporting tool rather then a back up it should probably be renamed.
Icons - We're testers, finding defects is a good thing for us to do, the 'Defects' icon should be happy.
Refresh - And my favourite; using the 'Refresh' button actually wipes out any defects raised and you're back to the 'Raise your first defect' window.
Testuff web service - Reads: Version: 0.9.1[2070]

My Testuff version is 0.9.2[2142]
I'm hoping that Refresh button thing is only happening to me, because a test management tool which has made it as far as a Beta version with a bug where all the defects are wiped is just a scary thought.
The look of the tool has raised a view eyebrows, I know the market they are going for but by going with the look they currently have they will unnecessarily alienate potential customers.
One of my suggestions was changable skins which I think would work well and be a bigger selling point for their market.
Anyway, if you have a chance, have a look and let Ido know your thoughts.
