Introducing TestRail Test Case Management Software

After many months of work, I’m excited to share the first bits of information about our upcoming new product TestRail, a web-based test case management software. TestRail is intended to help software development teams and quality assurance departments manage test cases, track test results and organize software testing efforts.

TestRail lets you create software test suites that can be executed and run by a team of testers. You can conveniently enter test results and track the progress of single test runs, milestones or entire projects. Personalized todo lists, email notifications and activity reports make it easy to organize and manage software tests.

TestRail is delivered as a web application that can be installed directly on your own server, as we understand that most software teams aren’t comfortable using a hosted solution. You can of course install the application in all common Linux/Windows hosting environments, so it’s easy to make TestRail available over the Internet if you have a distributed team.

Over the coming weeks we will introduce more details on TestRail and highlight some of the cool features and design decisions we made during the development of the application. Needless to say we optimized the entire user interface of TestRail to make it as easy as possible to create test suites, enter test results and track the progress of tests and used AJAX and other useful techniques were appropriate.

We plan to release a public beta version of TestRail in the coming months and release the final version of the product by the end of Q3 2009. If you are interested in giving TestRail a try, you can also request a private beta version before that (please email me in this case). Make sure to subscribe to our blog to stay up-to-date on TestRail news. In the mean time, please take a look at our TestRail preview website and check out the first screenshots. Feedback welcome!

    Hello all,

    thanks for your interest in TestRail. Please sign up for beta notifications on the TestRail site (the box that says ‘Get notified when TestRail becomes available’):

    http://www.gurock.com/testrail/

    Just to clarify, because one of our forum postings asking for beta feedback was moved to a job board: there is NO compensation for the beta test, except that we are prepared to provide discounts to users who provide useful feedback during the beta.

    We are just looking for people who are interested in taking a look at our new tool, which we feel will bring some interesting and fresh ideas to test management software. I hope this clarifies things and we are looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!

    You should checkout basecamphq.com!

    Looks like they ripped off you UI!

    Ummm… basecamp has been around for years. It’s the other way around. That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this UI.

  13. Posted August 12, 2009 at 20:34 | Permalink

    Joe, I’m pretty sure Jake meant that ironically. Anyway, although I agree that the Basecamp and TestRail UI have _some_ similarities, most web applications use a similar UI these days (e.g. with a header, sidebar, tabs as navigation elements etc.). In fact, even Amazon’s website used the same elements for many years (tabs, site ID, sidebar etc.), although with different colors. And if you compare the following screenshots, the Basecamp and TestRail UIs are actually quite different:

    I would like to know if your product will have support for API calls or SOAP calls to make it integrate with other external systems. Also if there is plans of directly launching Junit tests from the tool.

    Thanks,
    Subash

    Hello Subash,

    we definitely plan to eventually include an API and support for automated tests, but the 1.0 won’t come with this. For the 1.0, we want to provide a solid solution to manage classic QA and testing scenarios.

    Shortly after the 1.0 has been released and all smaller issues have been fixed, we plan to start working on automated test integration as the next big task, as we know that this is an important feature.

    Thanks,
    Dennis
