TestChimp

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TestChimp compare with Jira / Linear for test planning?

TestChimp is not a general issue tracker like Jira or Linear; It is a "Docs as Code" approach for test planning that is more agent-friendly as plans become available in your repo, organized in folders. TestChimp natively consolidates test authoring, execution, exploratory testing and ties them back to your plans, enabling deeper QA intelligence.

What makes this different from Xray or Zephyr?

Tools like Xray and Zephyr require form-based issue linking, whereas TestChimp uses annotation comments directly in test code that is agent friendly, and unifies planning with real execution data - including attributing exploratory bugs back to scenarios.

How does TestChimp connect plans to tests?

Scenarios are linked in test code using annotation comments (// @scenario), allowing executions, and regressions to map automatically back to the original plan. Since linking is done directly on code, coding agents can easily do the linking. This removes the need for manually maintained spreadsheets and disconnected systems.

How are UX bugs traced back to test scenarios?

Yes — in TestChimp, exploratory agents run based on existing functional tests (where the agent walks through the path and captures UX bugs). Since test to scenario mappings already exist, the bugs found by the exploratory agents are mapped to the scenarios they affect, enabling non-functional bug attribution back to your plans.

Can I import my existing stories and scenarios from Jira?

Yes — user stories and test scenarios in Jira can be imported to bootstrap your planning layer without recreating everything.

How do test plans get synced to the code repo?

You can map an existing folder in your repo for stories and scenarios. Once mapped, you can click on "Export to Git" in test planning screen, and the stories and scenarios will be mirrored in your repo as markdown files.
