Nitpicky is self-hosted test management for any software team. Write and review test cases, run them on every configuration, follow how far a release has come, and trace it all to your requirements — on your own servers, built to the rules of regulated industries.
Nitpicky is in development: it is not available yet.
Suites and sections, test cases with steps, shared steps and parameters. Every change is a new version with its author and note; branches and baselines follow your releases. Import from CSV, Excel, Xray or Zephyr Scale, export to CSV, Excel, PDF and XML.
Runs of a suite on each configuration, plans of many runs, devices and matrices. Testers find their tests in To do, record results step by step from the keyboard, and every list shows the progress of its tests.
Requirements come from Jira with their Fix Versions. See which ones a release covers, which tests verify them, and which cases to look at again when a requirement changes.
Progress by run, configuration, tester or priority; release readiness against exit criteria; trends, workload and defects. Dashboards across projects, and reports mailed as PDF on a schedule.
Drafts go through your workflow to a reviewer, who approves them — with an electronic signature where the project asks for one. Runs execute the approved versions only.
Charters, notes and findings in sessions of their own, each finding followed up by a defect or a new test case; a closed session is read-only, and signed where the project signs.
Each step takes its status in one click, the worst proposes the result's, and the steps left pass in one more. A result is never changed: a correction is a new result, and both stay in the history.
Nitpicky is for any software team. Where your work is regulated — medical devices, automotive, finance — a project can switch on the rules of regulated industries: it is designed to 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485 and IEC 62304.
The requirements of a release, each with the test cases that verify it and how their latest tests went. The traceability matrix and the coverage report are one click away, and so is a new test case for a requirement nobody covers yet.
Every test of a milestone's runs by the status of its latest result, then run by run, by configuration, by tester or by priority. The readiness report weighs a release against its exit criteria, and any report can be saved, exported or mailed on a schedule.
Data Center and Cloud: requirements with their Fix Versions, defects filed from a result, and links back on each issue.
Reporters for Playwright, Vitest, Jest, Cypress and pytest, JUnit XML files, and the
nit command line: automated results land in the same runs as manual
ones.
Defects in GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps too; notifications in Slack and Microsoft Teams, and by email when each person wants them.
A migration that brings projects, cases, runs and results across, and an API compatible with TestRail's, so existing scripts keep working.
The Nitpicky app for Jira Data Center 9.12, 10.3 and 11.3 shows, on each issue and in the details of the boards, the test cases that name it and how their tests went, read with the reader's own Nitpicky session, and writes a new test case for the issue in one click. Jira's administrators install it on their Jira.
Docker Compose with HTTPS built in, or a Helm chart for Kubernetes and OpenShift; PostgreSQL 18. Servers without internet are covered too.
Your directory decides who is in: LDAP and Active Directory, single sign-on with OIDC or SAML, two-step sign-in with TOTP, and external users who see only their own tests.
Nightly backups with tested restores, upgrades that roll back on their own, files on disk or S3 with Object Lock, and a review against OWASP ASVS level 2.
Projects move between installations as .nitpick archives, history,
signatures and audit trail included; their format is described by
its JSON Schema.
