In their own words
Azure Test Plans
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.
Testiny
Testiny is a test management system for coordinating manual test work and automated results. It supports test cases, plans, and runs, with authoring formats that include step-based, freeform, and BDD Gherkin. Hierarchical folders, templates, and custom fields help organize cases. Automated results from Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, JUnit, and more than 20 frameworks can be uploaded through CI tools, the CLI, or REST API. Issue tracker integrations include Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and Linear. Dashboards show live metrics, and runs can be shared by link or exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV. Testiny is offered as an EU-hosted cloud service or as self-hosted Testiny Server on Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift; the vendor locates its cloud infrastructure in Germany and Finland. The free plan costs nothing for up to three users and 1,000 combined cases, plans, runs, and executions. Starter is $18.50 a month per user; a 21-day trial requires no credit card.
