TestPod vs Xray
Considering switching from Xray? You’re not alone.
Here’s why QA teams and software organizations are moving from Jira-native solutions like Xray to TestPod’s modern, all-in-one test management platform — and why it might be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
Let’s dig into the details…
Test Management Made Simple
Xray is Jira-bound. TestPod is flexible.
Xray works tightly inside Jira, but that can make it clunky, rigid, and dependent on Jira configurations. TestPod offers a standalone, intuitive platform with a modern UI, drag-and-drop test organization, and smart filters — making test management easier and faster, no matter your tooling stack.

01
Built for Collaboration
Xray works for Jira users. TestPod empowers the whole team.
TestPod isn’t limited to Jira. It’s designed for all stakeholders in software quality — testers, developers, product managers, and even non-technical team members. Assign tasks, mention teammates, and collaborate on test plans and executions without needing a Jira license.

02
Unified Manual + Automated Test Support
Separate or together? TestPod brings it all under one roof.
Xray manages automated tests but often requires extra configuration and maintenance. With TestPod, manual and automated testing come together seamlessly. You can connect automation results, manage manual runs, and get a unified view of testing progress — all in one place.

03
All-in-One QA Workspace
Why stay tied to Jira?
TestPod consolidates the full QA lifecycle: from test case design and execution to bug tracking and reporting, all within a single, easy-to-use platform. No jumping between Jira issues and external test reports.

04
Faster Onboarding, Easier Maintenance
Xray takes setup time. TestPod just works.
Getting started with Xray often means grappling with Jira permissions, workflows, and custom fields. TestPod’s clean interface and intuitive workflows make onboarding smooth and straightforward — no complex Jira admin required.

Live Dashboards and Actionable Insights
Static Jira reports can’t keep up.
With TestPod, you get real-time dashboards, smart alerts, and visual metrics that help you stay on top of coverage, failures, and trends — so you can make faster, data-driven decisions.

Not just Jira — everything you use.
