Key differences
Qase was built from the ground up by testers, for testers. XRay test management’s association with Jira and Atlassian means XRay’s speed, performance, storage, user licenses, API limitations, and more are all dictated by Atlassian.
Qase offers better control over testing with standout features including Shared Steps, Test Review, and customizable analytics dashboards that provide data for every test step. And with our bidirectional Jira integration, you can get all the benefits of Jira while still enjoying the flexibility of Qase.

What customers say
At Qase we listen carefully to what the community and our customers say about their experience with the XRay test management system, so we can continue to make the best XRay alternative.

Feature spotlight: Test case review
Qase's test case review feature helps ensure that every test case is properly set up and has all the necessary information. Once test review is enabled as an optional or mandatory feature, the “Send to review” button will appear on the test case creation page.
Admins also have the ability to allow self merge (the author of the review request can merge it themself), set the number of approvals required, and leave comments on reviews to clearly communicate the revisions needed.
Test review is an invaluable feature for QA managers who work with multiple team members across projects and timezones. Review requests are easily accessible in the side navigation and reviews are both searchable and filterable.
