Jama Connect Test Management Center helps engineering and QA teams define, organize and execute requirements-based test plans and cases. Teams can run manual tests and record defects linked to failed tests. Requirements, test status and results remain connected for verification and validation traceability. Dashboards monitor test progress and requirements, while reports can map regulations, requirements and tests for compliance evidence. The product can generate structured, traceable test cases from requirements and identify coverage gaps or ambiguities. Jama Connect is offered as cloud or self-hosted deployment, with web and API access. Demonstrated integrations include TestRail, Xray, Parasoft, Azure DevOps and Jira, and a REST API supports integrations and test-result imports. Jama reports SOC 2 Type 2 certification, OWASP practices, security scans, penetration tests and TLS encryption. Test Runner users execute tests and edit plans; creating test cases requires a Creator license. Hosting, reviewer licenses, file storage and a hosted sandbox are included at no charge, while paid pricing is available on request.
