Easy migration
Switch from Qase, your test cases come with you
Qase exports a repository to CSV in one click, and TestCollab's import wizard maps the columns once and brings suites, cases, steps and custom fields across. No services engagement, and our team helps with larger libraries at no extra cost.
Export from Qase
Open the Qase repository, choose Export Data and pick CSV (XLS also works). Filters carry through, so you can export one suite at a time or the whole project. Titles, descriptions, steps, expected results, priority, severity and custom fields are all in the file.
Map fields once
Upload the file to TestCollab's import wizard under Settings, map the Qase columns to TestCollab fields, including custom fields, and pick how suites map to your folder tree. Cases whose steps sit in a single cell are split with the delimiter you choose, and Unicode content is preserved.
Reconnect your issue tracker and CI
Connect the tracker you used with Qase: Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Linear, ClickUp or Asana. Failed steps file defects with your own field mapping, tracker issues become requirements for traceability, and the TestCollab CLI reports JUnit XML or Mochawesome JSON from your pipeline into test plans.
Start the next cycle in TestCollab
Past run history stays readable in Qase for the length of its retention window; new cycles run in TestCollab. Most teams are executing real test plans the same week.
Why teams choose TestCollab
What you get with TestCollab
Start at $29 From Two Seats
Premium is $29 per user per month billed yearly ($35 monthly), and the team-size slider starts at 2 users. Qase's paid plan is $35 ($42 monthly) with a five-seat minimum, so a three-person team pays for five. Stakeholders follow test plans through public links and email updates on every TestCollab plan; Qase sells view-and-comment access as $10 collaborator seats.
AI Without a Credit Meter
QA Copilot on Elite generates test cases from Jira issues, requirement documents, screenshots or a live URL, and turns plain-English scenarios into automation that re-runs and heals itself. Usage is covered by a daily fair-use allowance and there is no overage bill. Qase grants 2,000 AI credits a month on Teams, charges $0.40 for each extra credit, and credits do not roll over.
Unlimited Run History on Every Plan
Every TestCollab plan keeps unlimited test cases, runs, run history and file storage. Qase keeps test history for 30 days on Free and 2 years on Teams; unlimited retention needs Qase Enterprise. An audit that looks back further than two years does not need a plan change.
Self-Hosted on Your Own AWS
Enterprise customers can run TestCollab inside their own AWS account, or pick the US or EU (Frankfurt) region of our cloud. Qase is cloud-only; its answer to isolation is a Qase-operated dedicated cluster on the Enterprise plan, with data residency scoped per cluster.
Screen Recording as Test Evidence
Testers record a browser tab, a window or the whole screen while executing a case, and the recording attaches to the result automatically, with audio if the project allows it. Qase records screencasts of its AI-driven automated runs; manual execution relies on screenshots and file attachments.
Risk-Based Testing and Release Readiness
A live risk register (Enterprise) scores features by impact and likelihood so test plans focus where a failure would cost the most, and Builds & Releases on Elite show when a release is ready to ship. Qase organizes the same work with priority and severity fields and milestones.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does TestCollab pricing compare to Qase?
TestCollab Premium is $29 per user per month billed yearly ($35 monthly) and the team-size slider starts at 2 users; at 50 users Premium drops to $21. Elite, which adds QA Copilot and AI test case generation, is $39 ($45 monthly). Qase Teams is $35 per user per month billed yearly ($42 monthly) with a five-seat minimum, and Qase Enterprise is quoted. For a 10-person QA team that is about $290 a month on Premium or $390 on Elite, against $350 on Qase Teams plus any AI credits beyond the 2,000 included. If you need AI on the base plan, Qase is $4 a seat cheaper on paper; the difference is that TestCollab never bills for AI usage. See the full pricing page.
Does TestCollab charge for AI credits like Qase?
No. QA Copilot and AI test case generation are part of the Elite and Enterprise plans. Usage is covered by a daily fair-use allowance that resets every day, and there is no per-credit billing and no overage charge. Qase grants 2,000 AI credits a month on Teams and 4,000 on Enterprise, charges $0.40 for each extra credit, and unused credits do not roll over, so a heavy month of generation shows up on the invoice.
How do I migrate from Qase to TestCollab?
Qase exports a project's repository, or a single suite, to CSV (XLS also works) from its Export Data menu, and any filters carry through to the export. Upload that file to TestCollab's import wizard, map the Qase columns to TestCollab fields once, and choose how suites map to folders. Multi-step cases, expected results, priority and custom fields come across. There is no Qase-specific importer, so the CSV route is the path today, and our team helps with larger libraries at no extra cost. Run history stays readable in Qase for the length of its retention window; new cycles run in TestCollab.
Does TestCollab have a free plan like Qase?
No. TestCollab offers a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked and no credit card. Qase Free is a real option for very small teams: up to 4 users, 2 projects and 500 MB of storage, with 30 days of test history. It leaves out AI generation, integrations, custom fields, dashboards and requirements, which all start on the $35 Teams plan.
Can I self-host TestCollab?
Yes. TestCollab Enterprise offers a self-hosted deployment inside your own AWS account, and the standard cloud runs in a US or EU (Frankfurt) region. Qase is cloud-only: its answer to isolation is a Qase-operated dedicated cluster on the Enterprise plan, with data residency scoped per cluster.
Does TestCollab support SSO like Qase?
Both do, on different plans. Qase includes SAML 2.0 single sign-on on its $35 Teams plan, with SCIM, multi-workspace SSO, enforced MFA and audit logs on Enterprise. TestCollab's SSO with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, SCIM provisioning, two-factor authentication, password policies and audit logs are on the Enterprise plan, while custom roles start on Premium. If SAML on a self-serve plan is a hard requirement, Qase has the edge; if you need SSO and self-hosting together, TestCollab Enterprise covers both.
Which integrations does TestCollab have compared to Qase?
TestCollab has a two-way Jira integration, plus GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps (Boards work items and Pipelines results), Linear, ClickUp, Asana and Slack. The TestCollab CLI uploads JUnit XML or Mochawesome JSON from any pipeline and can gate a build on the results, and the MCP server connects Claude Code, Codex and other agents. Qase lists 35+ integrations, including Monday, Trello, YouTrack, Microsoft Teams and Discord, and native reporters for many test frameworks. If you rely on a Qase reporter for a framework, check that it can emit JUnit XML; almost all of them can.
Can AI features be disabled, and is my data used for training?
Yes, and no. Every AI feature in TestCollab is optional and can be switched off for your account, so teams with strict policies can run the platform with AI disabled. When AI is on, none of your data is used to train AI models; your test cases, requirements and results are never fed into model training, ours or anyone else's.
What happens to my test history and run results?
Every TestCollab plan keeps unlimited test cases, runs, run history and storage, so there is no retention tier to plan around. Qase keeps history for 30 days on Free and 2 years on Teams; unlimited retention is an Enterprise feature. The migration itself covers test assets, not run results, so keep the Qase workspace readable until its retention window has passed.
Ready to switch from Qase?
Import your Qase test cases from CSV, keep Jira and your CI connected, and pay per seat from two users with no AI credit meter.
