TestBuddy is a cloud-based note-taking and test management tool that helps teams have better conversations about their testing discoveries. Unlike other tools where you log artefacts or scenarios, in TestBuddy you log actual feedback both positive and constructive. TestBuddy helps teams deliver value.

TestBuddy Ltd., founded by Rajit Singh and Simon Tomes, owns and runs the TestBuddy service. Rajit has over 20 years of experience developing web applications and Simon is a software tester of 17 years and an active contributor to the global testing community. TestBuddy Ltd. is based in London.

Not yet. For now you can sign up for TestBuddy as an individual and take advantage of the share session by email feature or download PDF test report feature in order to work with the rest of your team. A number of our customers attach their PDF test reports to their Jira tickets.

Not at all. Please go ahead and create as many sessions as you like. Happy exploring!

They’ll need a TestBuddy account to view an on-site, read-only version of your testing session. If they don’t have an account we’ll automatically email them a link to create one. When viewing a shared session they can filter the view by labels and download a PDF report. If you wish to share your session without relying on someone creating an account, you can use the “download as PDF” button in order to share a PDF file.

Not at the moment. This is something we’re keen to implement. Let us know what edition of Jira you’re using via support@testbuddy.co.

Testing notes can be very personal and something you might not feel comfortable sharing. We’ve noticed a huge difference when notes are shared, even when you think they might not be perfect. Consider booking a short amount of time with the recipient. Take them through your notes in the order you wrote them or call out the most important information first. Use your notes to start a collaborative conversation. We recommend labeling your notes to help the recipient spot things of interest quickly. You can download a PDF report using the button on the right hand sidebar of any TestBuddy testing session.

We’d love to hear from you! Email support@testbuddy.co or use the in-app messenger.
