10 best test management tools in 2025

Rease Rios -

Researching the best test management tools can quickly turn into an evaluation of which product has the best marketing. But what you should be evaluating is which test management platform best supports your software testing and development process, helps you improve product health, and supports scalable QA processes. 

Test case management tools exist to improve the quality of software. While the general process involves the same aspects —  planning, tracking performance, gathering data, testing, and monitoring releases — some test management system features may be more crucial to your process than others. 

While we’ll feature ourselves on this list of top test management platforms, we wanted to create a resource that uses only feedback from real users and wasn’t written solely for marketing purposes. So, we’ll share key information, including the top-mentioned features, pricing, and pros and cons for each test management system on this list.

Qase

An all-in-one solution for the entire product lifecycle, Qase includes test case management, defect management, and collaborative features that keep QA and development teams connected. Qase allows you to manage both manual and automated test cases in one place.

G2 Rating: 4.7 out of 5

Qase pros

  • Easy-to-use user interface (UI) and intuitive user experience (UX) for creating test cases, test runs, and test plans
  • Extensive API and integrations, including all major issue trackers and project management tools  
  • Requirements traceability report with two-way communication between Jira or Github
  • Customizable reports that can be shared with team members
  • Faster, more knowledgeable customer support (Live chat responses in 5 minutes or less, Monday-Friday in all time zones)
  •  Customer-led development (voting for features through a public Canny)
  • Better stability and performance (especially compared to TestRail)

Qase cons

  • Cloud only
  • Limited features*
  • Limited Customization*

*For transparency, we have included cons listed on G2. However, many of these are from older reviews, and the cons have since been addressed. 

For example:

“Tickets can be raised via integration in Jira from test runs (which is great!) but not directly from the "Defect" section.” (Source) 

In September 2024, we enhanced our integration with third-party issue trackers so that you can connect defects in Qase to existing defects in your issue tracker of choice. 

“There is potential for improving the handling of requirements…It would be convenient to have a summary of requirements: the total number of requirements…so that you can view it without filtering, to create a matrix of requirement-to-test case relationships. Ideally, with the ability to export such a table.” (Source)

In March 2024, we released a Requirements Traceability Report. This report now works with both Jira and Github and can be downloaded in CSV and PDF formats. 

“Some features are in the works to be implemented such as more customisation options to the Dashboard” (Source)

Qase Analytics Dashboards can be built from scratch, including data from custom fields. We’ve added additional filtering options, Qase Query Language Widgets, the ability to duplicate widgets, and Get Started dashboards.
