TL;DR

BrowserStack Test Management is a cloud-based tool for organizing, executing, and analyzing test cases. It helps teams track coverage, link automated and manual tests, and gain visibility into QA progress directly within the BrowserStack platform.

Introduction

As applications grow, so do the number of test cases. Spreadsheets or disconnected tools often become unmanageable, leaving teams without a clear picture of what’s tested and what’s not. This makes it harder to catch gaps, track failures, and communicate progress. 

BrowserStack Test Management solves this problem by offering a centralized system where QA teams can create, manage, and analyze test cases. Integrated with BrowserStack Automate and App Live, it ensures test coverage and results are connected to actual execution on real devices and browsers.

Integration with Automate and App Live  Test cases can be linked directly to runs on real devices and browsers, ensuring accurate execution data. 

Test planning  Plan sprints and releases with clear visibility into which test cases are pending, in progress, or complete. 

Result tracking  View pass/fail rates, execution history, and trends over time to spot recurring issues. 

Collaboration  Share test results with developers, designers, and product managers. Everyone stays aligned on quality status.

BrowserStack Test Management vs Alternatives

  • TestRail: Widely used standalone test management tool but lacks built-in device/browser execution.
