Test management for Azure DevOps
Testaro is a native Azure DevOps test management extension — an Azure Test Plans alternative that keeps your test cases, suites, runs, and history inside your own ADO tenant. No separate database, no third-party server, no per-user test licence to negotiate.
Installs from the Azure DevOps Marketplace · your test data never leaves your tenant.
Why Testaro?
Azure Test Plans charges per user. Your test data shouldn’t be the price.
Azure Test Plans gates real test management behind a per-user licence, and most teams only need a handful of people to author and run tests. Testaro takes a different path: it’s a native Azure DevOps test management extension that stores everything — test cases, suites, runs, and history — as first-class data in your own ADO tenant. There’s no separate database to trust, no third-party server holding your test evidence, and when you bring AI to the work, you bring your own keys. It’s the Azure Test Plans alternative for teams who want full quality tracking without giving up control of their data or their budget.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
No infrastructure to manage and no data to migrate — install the extension and start managing tests inside Azure DevOps.
- 1
Install from the Marketplace
Add Testaro to your organization from the Azure DevOps Marketplace. It’s a standard extension install — no servers to stand up and no data migration to plan.
- 2
Open the Testaro hub
Open the Testaro hub inside Azure DevOps. It lives right next to your boards and pipelines, using the permissions and projects you already have.
- 3
Start managing tests
Create your first plan, author test cases, and record runs. Everything you build is stored natively in your tenant from the very first click.
Features
Full test management, none of the lock-in
Everything a team needs to plan, run, and report on testing — built to live inside the Azure DevOps you already use.
Native to your Azure DevOps
Test cases, suites, runs, and history are stored natively inside your own Azure DevOps — as first-class work items and runs, not in a separate database or a third-party server you have to trust and pay for. Your test data lives exactly where the rest of your delivery data already does.
- No external database to provision or back up
- Test data stays under your existing ADO permissions
- Works alongside your boards, repos, and pipelines
Bring your own AI keys
Generate test cases and triage failures with AI using your own provider API keys. Keys are held only for the session and are never stored on Testaro servers, so your credentials and prompts never become someone else’s liability.
- Use your own OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or Anthropic keys
- Keys are session-only — never persisted by us
- AI assists test authoring and failure triage
Comprehensive reporting
See pass rates, requirement traceability, and trend analysis across plans and suites, then share read-only reports with stakeholders who don’t need an editor seat. Quality status becomes a link, not a meeting.
- Pass-rate and trend dashboards
- Requirement-to-test traceability
- Read-only shareable report links
Scheduled, governed runs
Automate recurring test runs through cron-style pipeline scheduling, with administrative governance over who can configure and trigger them. Routine regression passes happen on a timetable instead of on someone’s memory.
- Cron-style scheduled runs via pipelines
- Administrative governance over scheduling
- Repeatable regression without manual kick-off
Collaboration, security-first
Shared steps, custom fields, and review workflows keep a team’s test assets consistent, while soft admin controls keep configuration in the right hands. Built so your data never has to leave your ADO tenant to get the job done.
- Shared steps, custom fields, and review workflows
- Soft admin controls for safe configuration
- Data never leaves your Azure DevOps tenant
Security & data residency
Your test data never leaves your Azure DevOps
Stored in your tenant
Test cases, suites, runs, and history live natively in your own Azure DevOps — never copied to a Testaro database.
Session-only AI keys
Bring your own AI provider keys. They’re used for the session and never stored on Testaro servers.
Your permissions, your governance
Access follows your existing ADO permissions, with soft admin controls over configuration and scheduled runs.
