Introduction

TestBench calls itself ‘the smart test management and test design tool’ and covers the whole test process from planning, design and execution through to complete logging of results, according to its homepage.

Its distinguishing focus is test design. TestBench supports keyword-driven and data-driven testing, so test cases are built from reusable keywords and data tables that can drive both manual execution and automation. It also offers versioning described as 100% audit-proof, variant management for product lines, static analysis of test specifications, test planning and evaluation, and AI assistance. Integrations connect it to existing tools.

TestBench is made by imbus, a German software quality company, and the site is available in English and German. A free trial version can be requested.

In the quality loop it supports release gates in organisations with formal, audited test processes.
