Are there any decent free apps for requirements and test management

Question

I've looked at the free JIRA Cloud APPS for requirements and test management, if they are marked as free they tend to ask for an API from another service that means you need to eventually pay for that other service. Is there any truly free ones, I have 100 users on a standard cloud account?

Cheers!

Hi @Peter Kilmartin

You can try QAlity - Test Management for Jira which is TOTALLY free app no matter how many users you have on your Jira instance that was developed by SolDevelo, the company I work for.

The app allows you to create test cases, which are in the form of Jira issue. In such a test case you can add test steps, test data, expected result and test attachements.

Moreover, the application allows you to create a cycle test.

In our documentation you will find a list of features that are available in the free version.

The paid version - QAlity Plus - Test Management for Jira - gives you many more options and if you like the free version you can always try the paid version for free for 30 days during the trial period without losing any data.

If you have any questions then go ahead and contact us through the service desk.

Kind regards,
Michał

Hello @Peter Kilmartin

There are several apps that came up when I did a search for "test management" and set the filters to Jira Cloud and Free.

And this is the search I did for "requirements management"

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=requirements+management&hosting=cloud&price=paid

Have you looked through the results to see if any of these are "truly" free and meet your criteria as a "decent" app?

When you're asking about free apps, you're going to get what you pay for. There may be minimal or no support, or you may get only a subset of functionality that would be fully available if you paid for the app. You will rarely find a robust app that is completely free and offers good support, as that would not be a profitable endeavor for the vendor of the app.
