Ship with confidence

Ship on evidence, not on a hunch.

A release in TestChimp holds everything that decides whether it ships: what changed since the last one, every manual and automated result with its evidence, and the UX, performance and security checks, all scoped to that release.

14 days, no credit card. Works with any coding agent.

Release governance in TestChimp: the delta of release 2.15 against 2.14, a checkout test run with automated evidence and assigned manual scenarios, and the release health across functional, verification, UX, performance and security checks.

Problem

Green CI.Still not sure it’s ready.

Release readiness usually lives in a spreadsheet, a Slack thread and three dashboards. Test case managers record pass or fail with no evidence behind it, CI goes green without saying what changed, and nobody can say whether the new refund flow was actually tested.

One place for everything a release needs.

Create a release in TestChimp and it becomes the record for that version: what is in it, how it was tested, and what is still open.

  1. Release delta

    Know what changed.

    Give the release the commit it is cut at. TestChimp compares it with the prior release, so you start from what is new.

    Compared with the prior release

  2. Test runs

    Assurance with evidence.

    Scope runs to story and scenario folders and track manual and automated results together, each with its evidence.

  3. Release checks

    One view before you ship.

    Verification, UX, performance and security checks gather on the same release, beside the functional results.

Start from what changed.

Most release reviews start from a blank checklist. A TestChimp release starts from the difference between this version and the last one.

The release delta

TestChimp compares the commit the release is cut at with the prior release: new and updated stories, scenarios, tests and screens. You see what needs testing before anyone starts, and what was added to the suite along the way.

Release 2.15 cut at a41f9c2 compared with 2.14: 3 new stories, 14 new scenarios, 38 new tests and 2 new screens, with the changed story files listed.

Assurance with evidence.

A pass mark in a spreadsheet tells you someone clicked a box. TestChimp keeps what actually happened.

Test runs across manual and automated

Scope a test run to story or scenario folders, as you would in TestRail or Qase. Automated results arrive from CI through the TestChimp reporter, with a screenshot for every pass and a full trace for every failure. Manual results arrive as captured sessions.

Test run for checkout in release 2.15: automated results with a screenshot as evidence, one failed test with its trace, and manual scenarios assigned to Priya and Tom.

UAT without the spreadsheet

Assign scenarios to the people who should check them. Each tester sees what is theirs, captures the session in the Chrome extension or TestChimp Studio, with steps, screenshots, video, voice-over and notes, and the result lands in the run.

  • Scenarios assigned per tester.
  • Sessions linked to the run, no evidence uploads.
  • Progress across the whole run, manual and automated.
A manual session by Priya: recorded steps with screenshots, a video with voice-over, a note drawn on the screen, linked to scenario #TS-142 in the release 2.15 test run.

Functional and non-functional, in one view.

The release also gathers the checks that usually live in other tools, scoped to what this release introduced.

Everything between you and shipping

Verification status of the release’s tests, UX issues ExploreChimp found on the screens it changed, performance runs compared with the last release, and security findings, on the same page as the functional results. Sign-off becomes a decision on facts.

  • Verified and stale tests counted per release.
  • Only newly introduced issues, against the prior release.
  • A downloadable report for sharing.
Verified tests
Release 2.15 health: functional tests with 3 failing, 1 test to re-verify, 2 new UX issues, 1 performance regression, security triaged and manual testing in progress.

Questions about releases.

What is a release in TestChimp?
A record for one version of your product. You give it the commit it is cut at; TestChimp computes the delta against the prior release, and test runs, manual sessions, automated results, verification and UX, performance and security checks all attach to it.
How is this different from TestRail or Qase?
Those tools track test cases and pass or fail marks, disconnected from git and CI. TestChimp keeps plans in your repo, links Playwright tests to scenarios, captures evidence for manual and automated results, and adds the release delta and non-functional checks.
How do Playwright CI results reach a release?
Through the @testchimp/playwright reporter. Batches from CI link to the release’s test runs and update scenario coverage beside the manual results.
Can testers outside engineering take part?
Yes. Assign scenarios to them; they capture their sessions in the Chrome extension or TestChimp Studio, and the results land in the test run with full evidence.
Can I share a release report?
Yes. Test runs export as detailed PDFs for sharing and audit.
