Spotlight Release readiness with evidence

Test management that tells you when you're ready to ship

TestPlum connects requirements, test cases, runs and defects in one place, then turns every recorded result into a clear, explainable release decision.

What is TestPlum?

One place for every test, result and release decision

TestPlum is a test management platform for QA teams. It connects requirements, test cases, test runs and defects, and turns recorded results into release readiness, risk and flaky-test reports. Testers execute cases step by step with the keyboard, CI uploads automated results to the same runs, and QA leads see coverage, risk and readiness computed from evidence rather than estimates.

  • Structured test cases with versions and diffs
  • Run snapshots and append-only result history
  • Live requirements traceability matrix
  • Release readiness from thresholds you set
  • Explainable risk scores and flaky-test detection
  • JUnit ingestion, REST API and HMAC-signed webhooks

How it works

Traceability from requirement to defect

Every link is kept, in both directions, so any question about quality can be answered from one screen.

  1. Requirement

    Imported with its tracker ID and acceptance criteria.

  2. Test case

    Structured steps, linked to one or many requirements.

  3. Execution

    Manual or from CI, recorded in an append-only history.

  4. Defect

    Filed from the failure with context, synced to Jira or GitHub.

Release readiness

“Are we ready?” answered with six checks, not a gut feeling

Agree the bar once: pass rate, completion, critical failures, open critical issues and verified requirements. TestPlum checks every recorded result against it and shows exactly which numbers hold the release back.

Built for testers

Record a result in one key press

Execution is where testers spend their day, so it is designed for speed: step-level results, keyboard shortcuts, notes and timings, and an issue filed from a failure with the context already filled in.

CI and API

Automated results land next to manual ones

Add one step to any pipeline to upload JUnit XML. Tests are matched to cases by automation ID, missing cases are created, and retries are safe with an idempotency key.

  • Versioned REST API described in OpenAPI 3.1
  • Organization-scoped, expiring API keys
  • HMAC-signed webhooks with retries and a delivery log

curl -X POST "$URL?run_name=build-$BUILD_ID" \

Security

Your test data, isolated and accounted for

Security controls are tested like features. Here is what is in place today.

Tenant isolation

Every query is scoped to your organization and project. Resources from other organizations return “not found”, and tests check it across endpoints and API keys.

Sessions and passwords

Argon2id password hashing, revocable HttpOnly sessions stored only as hashes, brute-force limits and email verification.

Roles and audit

Configurable project roles from 14 permissions, need-to-know testers, an audit log and a recycle bin for deleted work.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before switching

What is TestPlum?

TestPlum is a test management platform for QA teams. It brings requirements, test cases, test runs and defects together, records manual and automated results in one history, and turns those results into release readiness, risk and flaky-test reports.

Who is TestPlum for?

TestPlum is for software teams that test before they release: QA leads who plan and report on testing, testers who execute cases and file defects, developers who read failures and feed CI results in, and admins who manage members, roles and fields.

Does TestPlum support both manual and automated testing?

Yes. Testers execute manual cases step by step in test runs, and CI pipelines upload JUnit XML results to the same runs, so manual and automated results appear in the same reports.

How does TestPlum decide whether a release is ready?

TestPlum checks recorded results against thresholds you set: runs in scope, execution completion, pass rate, critical cases failing or blocked, open critical issues and passing requirements. The release is ready only when every check passes, and each check shows the numbers behind it.

Can I control who sees and edits what?

Yes. Organizations have owner, admin and member roles, and each project has configurable roles built from 14 permissions. A tester role can be limited to only the run cases assigned to them.

Is my data isolated from other organizations?

Yes. Every query is scoped to your organization and project, resources from other organizations return 'not found', and automated tests check isolation across read and write endpoints and API keys.

Does TestPlum work with Jira and GitHub?

Yes. You can send an issue from TestPlum to GitHub or Jira and keep the link, and signed webhooks let you connect other tools to TestPlum events.

Does TestPlum use AI?

AI is optional. When an administrator enables it, it can draft test cases from a requirement and summarise run failures, with cost controls. Every core feature, including coverage-gap rules, works without it.

Is there a dark mode and is TestPlum accessible?

Yes. TestPlum has light and dark themes, works down to 375-pixel-wide screens and is built to WCAG 2.1 AA intent: keyboard operable, labelled controls, managed focus in dialogs and automated accessibility checks in both themes.
