TestBench
TestBench supports software testing from planning and design through execution and recording results.
What TestBench is
TestBench supports software testing from planning and design through execution and recording results. Teams can organize and monitor tests, track progress, and analyze outcomes for both manual and automated testing. Keyword-driven tests use reusable building blocks without complex programming, while data-driven tests can run scenarios with different test data without script customization. TestBench connects with requirements management, defect management, and test automation tools; automation tools can connect through the iTEP plug-in, and defect data can synchronize with connected systems. It can also be integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Integrated version and configuration management provides traceability and revision security for test results. The included iTORX test execution assistant supports online and offline use. TestBench is available on web and Windows and offers flexible annual licensing, including floating licenses; basic support, updates, and upgrades are included in the rental price. The maker invites visitors to request a free trial, while pricing information is provided on request. TestBench is made by imbus AG and was founded in 1992.

Verdict
TestBench covers the testing lifecycle, with links to requirements, defects, automation, and CI/CD workflows. It offers a free trial request, but buyers need to request pricing and select an annual license arrangement.
