Hi Sireesha/-,

I would only recommend you to learn Quality Center, because of it's features and usage.

You can avail 15 day trail version from HP(Google) and can go for Certification on Quality Center also which is very useful.

Open Source tools you can learn them in 1 day it's not at all a big deal.

Thanks,
Siddiq
