I'm doing a lot of organizing with not a lot of experience. I've already drafted a basic feature tracker and test plan in Excel, but I'm wondering whether there's any specialized software for creating this sort of thing in the industry.

As part of your studies, I recommend you do some reading. In the Production And Management forum, there's a stickied thread about project management tools.

To get to the Production and Management forum: in the left nav frame, click Forums. Then, in the top nav bar, click Browse. Then scroll down to the Business section, where Production And Management is the third forum.

In the Production and Management forum, the thread you want is the second of three stickied threads: “Project management tool Trello vs DropTask?” Click that and read.
