Testpad
London, England, United Kingdom
What it is
Testpad is a lightweight tool for planning and running manual tests with checklist-style plans. Testers enter cases as plain-text lines and organize them with indentation; the keyboard-driven editor supports free-form plans and work without a mouse. Reports are available instantly and can be shared through guest-access links or saved and printed as an audit trail. Guests can run tests without logging in, with guest testing included on Team plans and above. Teams can import tests from text files and spreadsheets, export projects, scripts, and results as CSV, and attach images or other files. Integrations with Jira, Pivotal, and Github let teams record issue numbers against results as clickable links. The API can accept automated results from CI/CD systems, query progress, and report manual and automated tests together; webhooks provide run and result events. Testpad supports test runs on mobile or tablet devices, handed over by email link or QR code. It is available on web, iOS, Android, and API. Pricing starts at $49/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial and no free plan. Founded in 2011, it is headquartered in London.
