# Testpad Reviews **Vendor:** Testpad **Category:** [Software Testing Tools](https://www.g2.com/categories/software-testing) **Average Rating:** 4.2/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 19 ## About Testpad Testpad redefines manual testing by offering a simpler and more accessible approach to test case management. Instead of requiring users to manage test cases individually like traditional tools, Testpad provides a flexible, checklist-inspired approach that adapts to various testing styles. The intuitive, keyboard-friendly UI ensures a minimal learning curve, allowing teams to get started quickly and efficiently. It’s more convenient than spreadsheets and more agile than traditional case management tools, making it an ideal choice for all teams that want to spend more time testing than documenting. Testpad’s straightforward reporting tools provide an at-a-glance view of test progress so it’s obvious what is and isn’t working, alongside what has and hasn’t been tested. Reports are generated instantly, providing easy-to-consume and shareable summaries of how testing is going, and afterwards, exactly how it went – making it easier than ever to keep up with how good the product is, how ready or not it is for release. Testpad is more adaptable and lightweight than bulky test management systems, seamlessly fitting into agile workflows. Whether you’re conducting Exploratory Testing, supporting Agile processes, using syntax-highlighted BDD, or actually like traditional test cases, Testpad provides the modern solution you've been looking for ever since you decided to upgrade from the mess you were in with spreadsheets. ## Testpad Pros & Cons **What users like:** - Users find Testpad's **ease of use** impressive, thanks to its intuitive interface and seamless collaboration features.

Clear, Easy Test Scripts with Live Results **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joel H. | Supply Chain Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2026 **What do you like best about Testpad?** Testpad has provided an easy way to write and group test scripts. The layout is clear and easy to send to other people who haven't used Testpad before. It's easy for people to complete test runs and results are live. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** It might be too customisable at times, it would probably be easier for new users if there were template test scripts for a wide range of industries. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** Testpad makes User Acceptance Testing for Warehouse Management Systems much easier and quicker than it would be otherwise. Frequent edits are required from customers so having a program like Testpad allows us to quickly make those changes and align to customer needs. ### 2. Easy-to-Use Test Management Tool with Room for More Features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** RaghuNadha G. | Customer Support Specialist., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Testpad?** I find Testpad very easy to use, and the interface is clean and straightforward. It’s simple to organize and view test cases, and I’ve been able to use it effectively for the last few years. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** The interface only shows tasks in one view. It doesn’t let me visualize progress in other ways, like charts or graphs. It could use more features to make tracking more interactive and insightful. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps organize and manage test cases in a clear, structured way. It makes it easy to track testing progress and collaborate with the team. 1. Saves time by keeping all test cases in one place. 2. Helps the team stay aligned and know which tasks are completed or pending. ### 3. Simple Setup and Flawless Collaboration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Testpad?** Very simple to use, import test steps from csv or Excel. Collaboration with multiple users at the same time is flawless. The simple integration providing links to our ticketing system is great. It is easy to add screenshots and details to each step to help testers understand what they need to do. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** 3 things bug me: - it is very easy to delete accidentally a row of tests. Luckily this can be undone with a simple ctrl+z or by locking the script - users without Admin rights can not reopen completed runs, in order to mark failed tests as passed once they are fixed - no API is available. I would like to integrate Testpad results with my central reporting tool, where I also report on automated tests **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to have a shared Excel file for collaborative testing which causes endless issues of concurrent versioning. Testpad offered a very effective way for easy collaboration. We had set it up in a few minutes and now continuously improve our scripts directly in Testpad. ### 4. Super Easy to Use and Highly Functional **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Testpad?** Ease of use, its pretty straight forward. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** Not the a big thing but, visually it is a bit boring but in terms of functionality that is more than useful. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us test our product release, as a team the work is divided and we can easily so how much progress has been accomplish in different scales (top to more granular) ### 5. Playful validation of tests, simple and pleasant to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2026 **What do you like best about Testpad?** We can validate the tests playfully, easy for the user. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** uncheck a test that did not pass to mark it as validated **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** Follow the different tickets and validate my tests ### 6.

Custom checklist to to track tickets and test cases and test runs. It's strong choice for teams that priorize flexibility **What do you dislike about Testpad?** There is no dedicated mobile app for this.

Limited and advanced features like compared to jira and other applications testpad is lack in advanced features such as integration with CI/CD pipeline, automation test execution and detailed analytics. Reporting features are not advanced. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's allow testers to create testcases that fit their specific needs without being confined to rigid templates Good test management and speed up the process for tasks.

TestPad enables me to be the best explorer while building a TestSuite at the same time! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2024 **What do you like best about Testpad?** TestPad enables high-impact exploratory testing and test suite creation in parallel, with minimal effort. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** I'm a huge integration nerd ... wish there was an API available for TestPad **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** TestPad uncuffs QA Engineers from the usual test case management tool set up time and pre-requisites.

Testpad is the best platform to report and manage all your testcase for manual QA testing. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rahul S. | PCB layout Engineer , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Testpad?** Testpad is very simple to make the testcase management and you can easily invite by mail, upload screenshots and images, easy way to copy paste from Excel also you can integrate the spreadsheet and excel. As a manual QA tester Testpad is the best tool available in the market compare to others. You will get 30 days free trial so one can explore the tool deeply. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** You can only get 30 days free trial and then after you need to go for the subscription though the subscription is nominal. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a QA specialist, We are managing and report the bug in the test plan that we make. It is lot more helpful to our QA team and add screenshots and images to it for easy understanding to developers. Lots of benefits we got while using Testpad platform for manual Qa testing and reporting bugs directy to testpad. ### 17. Good Tool held back by poor interface design **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2020 **What do you like best about Testpad?** It's a good tool for manual testing. Tests can be written very easily and it makes it very easy to pass tests on to other, even non-technical, coworkers so that they can complete them too. Great for testing new features, Bugs and especially regression-testing. Test reports can also be shared publicly, so there's no need to create accounts for customers to be able to see the tests results. One of the most useful features is the ability to tag test steps to only make them available for specific test runs, eg making certain steps only available to test runs for mobile devices. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** Unfortunately the interface gets in the way more often than not. The developers insist on overwriting your browser's right-click function, which is something I strongly dislike in Webapps. If a Webapp runs in a browser, it should allow native browser functionality. It feels very strongly as if they wanted to write a Desktop App, but had to settle for a Webapp instead. Lots of small things are way more difficult/cumbersome than they should be, such as editing test steps after completing a testrun (eg adding comments to explain the problem) requires you to first change the testrun's status to "In Progress" (the bar you need to click on to do so is very flashy, but simultaneously confusing and not user friendly at all). When editing a test step in a completed run you have to be careful to press escape instead of the big green and Red Pass and Fail buttons, otherwise it changes your testrun's status back to "completed", which is an annoyance when you want to edit multiple test steps. Or having to manually uncheck "Inherit Test Results" when starting a new test run (this should really be opt-in by default, not opt-out). These things sound like small annoyances, but many such small annoyances lead to a very counter-intuitive interface. For a tool that should be very simple, we lose way too much time trying to explain to new employees how to work with it. I still get confused with its interface from time to time, and I've been using it for more than a year. Had it been up to me, I would not use this tool. I find the user interface one of the most infuriating I have to work with on a regular basis. I strongly recommend that the developers reconsider their interface in terms of simplicity and predictability. Good user interface design is one of the most important things to keep in mind when designing a tool like this and I feel like that didn't get nearly enough attention during the development of Testpad. This is exactly why designing according to KISS principles is so important. **Recommendations to others considering Testpad:** Think carefully about who is going to use Testpad and what their needs are. In smaller teams, Excel or Google sheets might accomplish everything you need from a tool like Testpad. If you're going to have a lot of customers or non-technical users run tests in Testpad, the unnecessary complexity of the interface might get in your way when you have to explain everything to them every time. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** It gives us a centrally-available manual testing repository that can be made available to the entire team to either view, edit or run. It allows allows us to send easy-to-interpret test reports to our customers so they can see exactly what we tested and what the results were. ### 18. Very helpful app for ensuring consistent testing quality **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katie F. | Groundfish Data Services Manager, Environmental Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Testpad?** Quick and easy to start using, and helps me ensure that my 50th round of testing is just as detailed as my 5th. **What do you dislike about Testpad?** I have no complaints about this app and feel confident asking my team to use it. **Recommendations to others considering Testpad:** Highly recommend! **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before TestPad I was using a clunky Excel spreadsheet to get my team to check off the tests as they did them to ensure everything got checked before a new release. TestPad is a much more powerful and user-friendly tool. ### 19. Checklist test scripts **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2018 **What do you like best about Testpad?** easy to use; easy to navigate but there are enough options to organize the test scripts; there are plenty of places to put in comments regarding test script/ test results **What do you dislike about Testpad?** The test needs to be structured to be a either a definite positive or negative, so each 'test' needs to be worded pretty specific. It's good for regression checklist but if a new bug comes up there's not a great way to indicate it. **Recommendations to others considering Testpad:** Test Pad is great for scripting regression checklists especially for a small company or an application that's just starting to get developed, but long term and for bigger projects it's too simple and manual. **What problems is Testpad solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using it for regression tests right now with app development. **Official Response from Stefan Butlin:** > Thank you very much for reviewing Testpad and very pleased to hear you like the ease of use. If you would like to make any specific suggestions for improvements, please don't hesitate to write to me on stef@ontestpad.com, I'm always keen to understand what you're trying to do and how Testpad can make that easier. For the benefit of other readers I would like to emphasise the flexibility of test structure as it would be a shame to get the impression Testpad is only good for regression testing. Results are indeed collected as 'pass' or 'fail' (unless queried, blocked or skipped), but it's up to you how literally you take this. For example, an Exploratory test plan (the polar opposite of regression testing?) might just say "login functionality" and a "pass" here would mean no problems found. Or sub-headings under a title of "login functionality" could include items like "unicode characters", "blank fields", "forgotten password"... all non-specific but a "pass" can still mean "no problems found", and leaving you with a nice summary of the areas you looked at. If you do find a new problem, you can raise it in an issue tracker like Jira and leave a link to it in Testpad, or you can include a comment in Testpad, or... you can even add new test rows right there and then during testing to a) document the new ideas and b) so you get reminded to cover it again next time. Lastly, Testpad gets used on projects big and small. The largest to date has been on a $multi-million console game with over 100 testers! Please don't hesitate to write in (stef@ontestpad.com) if you'd like help with, or just to discuss, any of these ideas. As I said, I'm always keen to understand how you're working and how Testpad can make your testing more productive.
