Requirements + Test Management for Jira.
AI Agents Coming Soon.
The source of truth linking requirements, test cases, coverage, and results - readable and writable by your team, your CI pipeline, and your coding agent. Free for teams up to 10.
One Source of Truth.
Three Ways to Work.
BesTest is a working system your team can use by hand today. The same requirements, tests, and coverage are built to be driven by your CI pipeline and your AI agents - no separate tool, no migration.
A complete test management system inside Jira. Your requirements, test cases, and results stay linked, traceable, and kept in one place - so every way of working below draws on the same data.
Manual testing
Live today. Create requirements and test cases, link them for coverage, run executions step by step, then report and audit - all by hand in Jira.
- Create, link and execute by hand
- Reviews and notifications
- Reporting and audit trail
Test automation
Connect your CI. Push results from Playwright, Cypress, and your pipeline runs into the same coverage picture, and pull test data through the REST API.
- REST API
- CI/CD pipeline results
- Manual and automated in one view
AI-supported testing
Your agent talks to the foundation over MCP: it reads requirements and coverage, generates automated tests in Playwright or any language, and syncs results back. Your code stays in your repo.
- MCP server for Claude Code & Cursor
- Requirements-aware test generation
- Scoped to your permissions
End to End Quality Management

Coming to Support Your AI Agents
Requirements-Aware Test Automation
BesTest already links your requirements, test cases, and execution. Soon your CI pipelines and coding agents will read and update all of it through our REST API and MCP server, with your testing context as the source of truth.
Connect
Add a development key in your BesTest project settings. Your IDE agent connects over our MCP server, scoped to exactly the Jira permissions you already have. Agents only ever see what you are allowed to see.
Understand
Agents pull requirements, test cases, test cycles, and coverage to understand what actually needs testing, grounded in your real project context instead of guesswork.
Act
Generate Playwright and automated test cases from requirement context, then push execution results back from CI through the REST API. Manual and automated land in one coverage picture.
A deeper connection to Atlassian's Teamwork Graph and Rovo, so your agents reason over testing context alongside the rest of your organization's work, with permissions intact.

What Teams Are Saying
Real reviews from the Atlassian Marketplace
“We've tried a lot of test tools over the years, but none really fit how our team works with test sessions. BesTest let us set up tests and run them with full traceability, nested folders, and issue links for any found issues. It fits our workflow really well.”
“Setup took like 5 minutes and there's basically no learning curve. Everything included — requirements, test cases, executions, reports. It just works. The folder/collection organization is intuitive and the built-in review workflow for test cases is handy. Feels like it was actually made by testers who get it.”
