Tuskr

Tuskr is test management software for QA teams that need to organize test cases, runs, issues, and reports. Its editor handles rich text, tables, formatting, pasted images, custom fields, spreadsheet imports, and AI-generated cases. Teams can create test runs with AI based on priority, tailor result forms, record outcomes in bulk, and export PDF status reports. Burndown charts and dashboards show project health, test runs, and KPIs. During execution, users can open issues and associate them with failed test cases. Tuskr lists more than 400 application integrations, including Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, and Trello. Webhooks can send updates when test run results are added, edited, or removed, and a REST API is available. Tuskr offers Android, iOS, and browser-based mobile access. The free plan supports up to five users, five projects, and 1,000 test cases, but has no API calls per hour. Paid plans start at $90/user/yr and require at least five licensed users. The 15-day trial includes every feature, requires no credit card, and does not auto-charge.

Tuskr covers test cases, execution, issue tracking, and reporting, with a free tier and full-feature trial. Check the five-user paid minimum and free plan’s API limit against your team’s needs.

Tuskr suits QA teams that need shared test case management, run tracking, issue links, and reporting. The free plan may fit teams of up to five users that can work without API calls.

Tuskr is a QA test-management workspace for teams that need cases, execution, defects, and reporting together. It suits organizations standardizing a shared testing process, especially those that need integrations and room for larger case libraries. Its free tier is a practical starting point for small projects, but API-heavy workflows and teams below the paid seat minimum need careful planning.

Overview

Tuskr brings requirements linking, test-case management, planning, run tracking, QA reporting, and automation integrations into one hosted product. That breadth can keep routine QA work in one place rather than splitting authoring, execution, issue follow-up, and status reporting between separate systems. The important commercial constraint is that every paid tier starts at five licensed users, while the free tier permits no API calls per hour.

Key features

Case authoring and test runs

The editor supports rich text, tables, formatting, pasted images, custom fields, spreadsheet imports, and AI-generated test cases. Spreadsheet import helps when a team already has a case library; custom fields and formatting support more structured documentation than plain text. Tuskr can build test runs with AI according to priority, let teams customize result forms, capture results in bulk, and export PDF status reports. Those controls fit repeatable execution, and PDF output gives stakeholders a portable progress summary.

Issues, reporting, and integrations

Issues can be created during execution, with failed cases connected to related issues so defects retain their testing context. Burndown charts and dashboards cover project health, test runs, and KPIs, giving leads a view of progress and risk. Integrations include Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear, and Trello, with Tuskr stating support for more than 400 applications. Webhooks send an HTTP POST when a test-run result is added, changed, or deleted, which is useful for event-driven workflows. The REST API is web-based and platform-independent, although the free plan provides zero calls per hour.

Security and access

The mobile interface works on Android, iOS, and other major platforms through a web browser, alongside the web application and API access. Tuskr lists ISO 27001 and AICPA SOC 2 Level 1 as audited, and EU GDPR and UK GDPR as compliant. It says data in transit and at rest, including backups, uses 256-bit encryption, with servers on Google Cloud infrastructure in the United States.

Pricing

A 15-day trial unlocks every feature, needs no credit card, and does not auto-charge, making it a low-risk way to evaluate the full workflow. The free plan is billed Free forever at free for up to five users, five projects, 1,000 test cases, 1 GB of file space, and 100 runs per project. Its zero API calls per hour rules out API-dependent automation, and dormant free accounts may be deleted automatically.

Team costs $90 a year per user, billed per user per year, with a five-user minimum. It raises capacity to 50 projects, 50,000 test cases, 5 GB of file space per user, 250 runs per project, and 1,200 API calls per hour. This is the sensible paid entry for a small QA department that can meet the five-seat commitment.

Business costs $150 a year per user, also with five users minimum. It allows 100 projects, 100,000 cases, 15 GB per user, 500 runs per project, and 2,400 API calls per hour. Choose it when the Team quotas or storage are likely to constrain a growing program.

Enterprise costs $290 a year per user with the same five-user minimum. Its limits are 250 projects, 250,000 cases, 30 GB per user, 1,000 runs per project, and 4,800 API calls per hour. The additional headroom is aimed at broad portfolios and high-volume integrations rather than small teams.

Platforms

Tuskr supports Android, iOS, web browsers, and a platform-independent API. Mobile browser access extends the workflow beyond desktop without requiring a separate native platform commitment.

Who it's for

Tuskr fits QA teams that want a unified case-to-report process, need requirements and issue links, or rely on integrations and webhooks. It is also a good match for teams importing existing cases and for stakeholders who need PDF or dashboard reporting. Solo users and very small groups should weigh the five-user paid minimum, while automation-dependent users should budget for a paid tier because the free plan has no API allowance.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad QA coverage: cases, planning, runs, requirements, issues, and reporting share one workflow.
• Flexible authoring: rich formatting, custom fields, images, spreadsheet imports, and AI generation support different case-building methods.
• Useful connectivity: major development and collaboration tools, webhooks, and a REST API support connected processes.
• Clear scaling steps: project, case, run, storage, and API quotas increase predictably from Team through Enterprise.
• Credible controls: audited ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Level 1 listings, GDPR compliance, and 256-bit encryption address common governance requirements.

Cons

• Five-seat paid floor: a team needing only one or two paid accounts still pays for at least five licenses.
• Free API ceiling: zero calls per hour prevents API-based automation on the no-cost tier.
• Free-account retention risk: dormant free accounts may be deleted automatically, so it is not ideal as a permanent inactive archive.
• US hosting: servers are hosted in the United States, a consideration for organizations with location-specific data policies.

Alternatives

Choose Klaros-Testmanagement instead if self-hosting, Linux, or Windows support is central to your deployment. Kualitee is worth considering when a free cloud plan with one project, 500 cases, 200 defects, and three users is a closer fit. Pick Tricentis Testim when you want a free allowance of up to 1,000 runs per month and customized paid plans for mobile and web testing. TestMu AI suits teams seeking an annually billed KaneAI Starter plan at $17 a month with one agent and 2,000 credits monthly per agent. TestChimp is a paid alternative with a 20-user Team plan at $420 a month. TestMonitor starts its Professional plan at $10 a month with pricing varying by team size and a five-user start. Testpad is an option for paid teams wanting an Essential plan at $49 a year for three testers. AgileTest is another paid test-management choice.

Verdict

Choose Tuskr if your QA team wants case authoring, execution, linked issues, dashboards, and integrations in one workspace, with paid tiers that accommodate substantial growth. Look elsewhere if you cannot justify five paid seats, need API automation on a free plan, or require hosting outside the United States.
