Testiny

Testiny is a test-management system for teams that need manual test work and automated results in one place. It is particularly suited to QA groups using CI tools and issue trackers, with an EU-hosted cloud option and self-hosted deployment. The free tier is a practical starting point for a small team, but its shared item cap and upload limit are restrictive.

Overview

Testiny combines test-case authoring, planning, run tracking and reporting. Cases support step-based, freeform and BDD Gherkin formats, alongside folders, templates and custom fields. That range can accommodate different authoring styles within one library; the trade-off is that the Free plan caps test cases, plans, runs and executions together at 1,000, so a busy suite can consume the allowance quickly.

Key features

Authoring, automation and integrations

Automated results can be uploaded from Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JUnit and more than 20 frameworks through CI tools, the CLI or REST API. This makes Testiny useful as a management layer for teams that already run tests elsewhere, rather than a substitute for those runners. Issue-tracker integrations include Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab and Linear, while requirements linking supports connecting test work to requirements.

The MCP Server connects Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot and other compatible clients for natural-language test creation and execution. Teams interested in AI-assisted workflows can use that connection without giving up Testiny’s manual and automated test management in the same system.

Reporting, migration and security

Dashboards show live test metrics, and test runs can be shared by link or exported to PDF, Excel or CSV. API imports from TestRail, Zephyr and Xray, plus CSV or Excel imports for other tools including Qase and TestLink, give teams migration paths without requiring them to rebuild a library from scratch.

Testiny’s cloud is hosted in Germany and Finland, and its listed security controls include role permissions, OIDC single sign-on, audit logs and two-factor authentication. IP-based access restriction is reserved for Enterprise, so organizations that require that control need to budget for the higher tier.

Pricing

Testiny is freemium, with a 21-day trial that requires no credit card and includes 25 user seats by default. Paid cloud plans are billed per user per month; the free plan instead trades cost for tight capacity limits.

• Free: free. It allows up to 3 users, 5 GB storage and 1 MB uploads, with 1,000 test cases, plans, runs and executions combined. It suits evaluation or a small, low-volume team, but the shared cap and tiny upload limit can become obstacles as work grows. Support is via the forum.
• Starter: $18.50 a month, billed per user/month. It supports up to 25 users, 50 GB storage and 100 MB uploads. It removes the Free plan’s three-seat ceiling and raises storage and upload capacity, making it the entry paid option for teams that fit within 25 users. Standard support is included.
• Business: $20.50 a month, billed per user/month. It requires 5+ users, has no user limit, and includes 250 GB storage and 100 MB uploads. The small per-user price step over Starter buys room to scale beyond 25 users, though the five-user minimum rules it out for smaller groups. Support is premium.
• Enterprise: $30 a month, billed per user/month, with a 5+ user minimum and seats sold in packages of 5. It provides 500 GB storage and 100 MB uploads, plus IP-based access restriction. This fits larger or more security-conscious teams willing to buy seats in fixed increments. Support is enterprise-level.
• Testiny Server: $300 a year, billed from $300 per user/year annually in 5-user packages. It runs on the customer’s infrastructure using Docker or Kubernetes. Choose it when self-hosting is the priority; package billing and the annual term matter for budgeting.
• Custom Enterprise: custom pricing with negotiated terms. Storage and rate limits can be customized, self-hosting is available, and terms and SLA can be customized. It is the option for organizations whose requirements do not fit the standard tiers.

The cloud is also offered as an EU-hosted service, while Testiny Server supports self-hosting on Docker, Kubernetes or OpenShift. Business and Enterprise begin at five users; Enterprise and Testiny Server are sold in five-seat packages, so the headline per-user price does not tell the whole budget story.

Platforms

Testiny is available as a web service, through an API, and as self-hosted software. The cloud infrastructure is located in Germany and Finland; Testiny Server can be deployed on Docker, Kubernetes or OpenShift.

Who it's for

Testiny is a good fit for QA teams that want structured manual test cases alongside automated-result intake, issue-tracker connections and shared reporting. The Free plan makes sense for up to three users with a modest combined test inventory. Teams needing more capacity can move to per-user cloud plans, while organizations that require control of their own infrastructure can consider Testiny Server. It is a weaker fit for small teams needing more than 1,000 combined items or large uploads without moving to a paid tier.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Step-based, freeform and Gherkin authoring, plus folders, templates and custom fields, support varied test-library practices.
• Pro: Results from more than 20 frameworks can flow in through CI tools, CLI or REST API, keeping execution intake connected to test management.
• Pro: EU-hosted cloud and several self-hosting deployment targets give teams a choice of deployment model.
• Con: Free users share a 1,000-item allowance across cases, plans, runs and executions, and are limited to 1 MB uploads.
• Con: Business and Enterprise require at least five users, while Enterprise and Server use five-seat packages, which can make their entry cost harder to match to a small team.

Alternatives

• Kualitee is another freemium option; its free Growth plan allows one project, 500 test cases, 200 defects, three users and 20 AI credits per month per domain.
• Qase is worth comparing for a free plan with up to four users and two projects, plus 500 MB storage, 30-day test history and two active test runs.
• TestQuality is another freemium web-based option.
• Squash TM is another freemium web-based option.
• TestPlanIt is another freemium web-based option.
• Zephyr is a free alternative.
• TestRail is a paid web-based alternative without a free plan.
• QA Touch is another freemium web-based option.

Verdict

Testiny is a strong choice for QA teams that want manual test management, automated-result imports and reporting together, especially when its integrations match their workflow. Its free plan is useful for a small team, but the combined 1,000-item cap and 1 MB upload limit make upgrading likely as the suite grows. Choose a paid cloud tier for more capacity or Testiny Server for self-hosting; look elsewhere if those limits or five-seat package terms do not suit your team.
