EDITORIALS | EXPLORATORY TESTING
What is exploratory testing?
Exploratory testing is essential to uncovering hidden issues and improving the quality of real-world usage. This guide covers what it is, when it pays off, and how to make it trackable.
TESTING TOOLS
Testpad vs TestRail: test plans, not a database of test cases
TestRail stores tests as case records in a database; Testpad is a nested checklist of plain text prompts. How they differ, and when each fits.
EDITORIALS
Agile testing: the complete guide
Agile testing means two things – testing within a formal Agile framework, and simply testing with agility. This guide covers both: the methods, the lifecycle, the tools, and the challenges.
EDITORIALS
How to write new test scripts with our custom GPT
Our custom GPT writes test scripts in minutes. Describe what you're testing, review the output for your product specifics, paste into Testpad.
HINTS AND TIPS
Guest Testing: Anyone Can Help When the Pressure is On
Invite guest testers to help you run your tests. Perfect for asking clients to perform User Acceptance Testing, as well as just roping in more help when you're late for a release.
UPDATES
API now includes Webhooks
Testpad's API now supports webhooks, so your other tools can be notified the moment something happens in your account. Connect through a platform like Zapier, or the API directly.
UPDATES
Testpad now supports two-factor authentication
Testpad now supports two-factor authentication. It's optional for any user on any plan, and account owners can require it for everyone on their account.
UPDATES
Testpad now has an API
After much asking (and a little waiting) from our customers, Testpad’s API has landed. It’s flexible, simple, and built to connect the dots between the tools you’re already using.
TESTING TOOLS
Compare Testpad next to the tools you know; it's all about test plans, not test cases
Compare Testpad with TestRail, Xray, Qase and more: head-to-head pages, alternatives roundups and buying guides.
EDITORIALS
Test plans, not test cases
Formal test cases cost more than they return. Most of their words are product documentation in the wrong place, and their step-by-step instructions keep testers from the bugs nobody wrote a step for. So here is the case for a different default: the test plan as an outline of one-line prompts, covering the same ground with a fraction of the words.
