What Testpad is

Testpad is a paid tool for planning and running manual tests with checklist-style plans. Tests are entered as plain-text lines, then arranged with indentation; its keyboard-driven editor supports free-form planning without a mouse. Reports are available immediately and can be shared by guest link, saved, or printed as an audit trail. Guests can run tests without logging in, with guest testing included on Team plans and higher. The API accepts automated results from CI/CD systems, reports manual and automated runs together, queries progress, and sends run or result events through webhooks. Testpad links with Jira, Pivotal, and Github for clickable issue numbers. Teams can run tests on phones or tablets, hand them over by email link or QR code, import text or spreadsheet files, export CSV files, and attach images or other files. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing starts at $49/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
