Jira software is definitely the most favoured solution for agile, software and project management teams. Jira has become the central hub for the coding, collaboration, and release management. For the fifth time, Atlassian has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Agile Planning Tools (March 2022).

For Test Management, Jira has a variety of Testing apps available from the Atlassian Marketplace for Jira. This helps QA teams Test effectively and iteratively directly within Jira. Our review is based on Native Jira Apps which support a range of Team Types including DevOps and Agile teams. When we refer to Native we mean the tools would be required to provide functionality such as Tests, and Test processes used by QA directly within you Jira instance.
Native Test Management functionality within Jira has come a very long way. Traditionally Testing teams would need to use an external Test Management Platform such as (TestRail, ALM, TestLink …) and configure limited Integrations with Jira Issues. With Native Testing apps as listed in the Top 4 below, you can now switch from using external Test Management Platforms to a more secure Native Testing experience that seamlessly works directly inside your Jira workspace leading to Improved Software Quality through efficient Test Case Design, Execution, Automation and reporting as part of your Jira Software solution.
This removes the need for separate licensing, user permissions, training as your team will be familiar with Jira and can now benefit from the added Test Management features.
TESTPOINT’S TOP 4 TEST MANAGEMENT TOOLS FOR JIRA ARE:
Both Vansah and QMetry are close to 50% cheaper than Zephyr Squad and Xray and include 10 user free license which is inline with Jira. When comparing the features available within the Top 4 Test Management Tools for Jira we believe they all provide powerful Test Management and Reporting features within Jira so its really your choice to make either tool your platform.
Zephyr Squad is a popular Test Management solution for Jira mainly due to the fact that it has been around the longest and most people have familiarised themselves with the name. With competitor tools its no-longer the only Native Testing solution for Jira especially when you compare features and pricing of Vansah and QMetry.
All four tools offer a 30-day free trial including support both with their community forums and direct customer service management systems. We hope the following will help you decide on either switching from an external Test Management tool or installing the appropriate Native Testing tool within your Jira workspace.
