All your tests in one place
Set reminders for when business processes are due to change, so your library never gets out of date. You can even update the library based on a recent test, if there has been a change you didn’t know about.

A rich view of test information
Deep dive into any test to see associated feedback, issues that have been raised and their progress – even see which test cases a test is based on.

Create end-to-end tests in moments
String multiple tests together to test a process end-to-end, even across multiple applications. You can even set dependencies, to make sure process steps are done in the right order.

Key features
The makeup of Manual Testing perfection
Guided & exploratory testing
Guide a user through a test with detailed instructions, or let them explore and track their every activity.
Complete activity tracking & audit trail
While the user gets on with the test, our solution captures every action, click, and input they perform, and automatically identifies new screens or pages.
Mark-up, edit & enhance
If a user spots an issue, either during testing or when reviewing test results, they can easily mark up the problem and set a severity level for fast triage.
Automatic quality checks
Including spelling, performance, hardware impact, and link checking. Exact performance data is captured as standard so you can fully evaluate UX.
Reuse, modify, repeat
Automatically save tests and modify for re-use.
Process & training documentation
Turn test recordings into reference manuals and animated how-to guides for training and support, complete with markups and comments to enhance the experience for users.
Results analysis
All information about a test result, including performance, can be completely analyzed in the Result Viewer.
Raise issues
Separate to markup, users can flag defects while a test is in progress, optionally linked to a test step. You can automatically pass full details to the developer, or review them beforehand.

Manual Testing FAQs
-
Can Manual Testing be used in an agile setting?
Yes! In fact, the ability to quickly document a process, whether through exploratory testing or a user story–driven process, supports the agile methodology. And because issues are raised in real time, you can easily report back to devs in time for the next sprint.
-
Can the results of end users' tests be triaged before a defect is created?
Yes. If your testers aren’t experienced at testing – meaning they may flag issues that aren’t as important as they seem – then you can implement a full triage cycle to review any issues testers report before you submit them to your dev team.
-
How easy is it to make notes against the results of a test?
Incredibly easy. The solution is designed so that users can add comments and markup in the moment, allowing them to select portions of a screen to comment on mid-test, and after the test. Test managers can also add notes once a test is complete in order to add further context, if needed.
