No external tool? No problem.
Not every team uses Jira or GitHub for requirements. TestKase includes a complete, free requirement and defect management system — ideal for small teams, new projects, or anyone who prefers an all-in-one solution with zero setup.
Zero Configuration
Works out of the box. No API tokens, no webhooks, no external accounts — just enable it in project settings and start creating.
Completely Free
Included in every TestKase plan at no additional cost. No feature gates, no per-seat charges for requirements.
Natively Linked
Requirements auto-link to test cases and defects — no sync delays, no broken references, no data drift.
Organize and track every requirement
Create requirements with priorities, statuses, and rich summaries. Organize them in nested folders by module, epic, or feature area — just like you structure your test cases.
Folder Hierarchy
Nested folders and sub-folders by module, sprint, or feature area.
Priority & Status
Priorities (P0-P3) and statuses (Open, In Progress, Closed, Archive).
Test Case Linkage
See which requirements are tested, partially covered, or have no tests.
Coverage Reports
Full chain from requirement to test case to execution result.
Track every bug with full context
Log defects with severity levels, status workflows, and automatic linking. Every defect traces back to the test case that found it and the requirement it violates.
Severity Levels
Blocker, Critical, Major, Minor, or Trivial. Focus on what matters most.
Status Workflow
Open → Assigned → In Testing → Deployed → Closed lifecycle.
Linked to Test Cases
Auto-links to the test case that exposed the bug.
Linked to Requirements
Connects back to the requirement it violates.
From requirement to full traceability
The complete journey — from writing a requirement to generating an audit-ready traceability report.
Folder Organization
Structure requirements in nested folders — by module, feature area, or sprint. Mirrors your test case folder structure for easy navigation.
One-Click Linking
Map any requirement to test cases and any defect to test cases in a single click. See linked items instantly on both sides.
Transitive Defect Chain
Defects auto-link through the test case back to the originating requirement — complete chain from bug to business need.
Coverage Gaps
Instantly see which requirements have no linked test cases. Close coverage gaps before release with unmapped requirement discovery.
Audit-Ready Reports
Generate traceability matrices showing Requirement → Test Case → Execution → Defect chains. Ready for compliance audits.
No Sync Required
Since everything lives inside TestKase, there are no sync delays, no webhook failures, and no data drift between platforms.
