Azure Test Plans vs ONES

Azure Test Plans gives teams tools to plan, run, and track manual and exploratory testing for apps. For scripted tests, teams can track actionable defects and connect test cases and suites to user stories, features, or requirements. Exploratory sessions let testers design and run tests at the same time. During manual tests, Test Runner can capture screenshots, image action logs, and screen recordings. Reports, dashboard widgets, and customizable Power BI reports show plan progress and trends. The service integrates with Azure Pipelines for CI/CD testing and offers REST APIs and an extension contribution model. Manual testing is available in the web portal through supported browsers on major platforms; a free Test & Feedback extension supports exploratory testing in Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The free Stakeholders plan does not allow users to create or manage Test Plans. Basic is free for the first five users, then $6 per user per month; Basic + Test Plans costs $52 a month, billed at $52 per user per month. A 30-day trial is listed. Azure DevOps cloud-based load testing is deprecated; Microsoft points users to Azure Load Testing for managed load testing.

ONES combines project management and knowledge management in one platform, available on web, API, and self-hosted environments. ONES Project covers requirements and issue management, sprints, progress tracking, test management, resource management, automation, and program management. ONES Wiki provides documentation spaces and pages with permissions, search, and team collaboration. ONES Assistant connects Project and Wiki; it can generate reports, break requirements into tasks, summarize notifications, and answer questions using selected Wiki pages. Code Integration supports GitHub, GitLab, private GitLab, SVN, and private Bitbucket repositories. A Slack integration links accounts and can send notifications about followed issues and selected activity. ONES describes SAML 2.0 single sign-on, login MFA, and audit logs, and says its cloud service meets SOC 2 Type II criteria and adheres to ISO 27018 and ISO 27001. Data can be hosted in AWS data centers in North America, Japan, and Southeast Asia, or on private servers. The free plan is free forever for up to 30 seats. Standard costs $80.50 a year, billed annually; a 30-day trial supports up to 20 users.
