Test plans, not test cases. Testpad is built on a different data model. Instead of a suite of test cases, each one a form to fill in with preconditions, steps and expected results, a plan is an outline of prompts. You write a test as a line of plain text, indent to group related tests under a heading, and add a column for each run you do. Established over 16 years ago, customers have included the likes of NVIDIA, GitHub, Bell, Siemens, Sony, HP, and Volvo. It's fast to work in. Type a line, hit enter, write the next one, instead of opening a multi-field form for every test.
