About TestRail
TestRail is a commercial test case management tool for QA and development teams. It is used to write and organize test cases, group them into test plans and runs, record results as testing proceeds, and produce reports that show how much has been tested and what has failed. Teams typically use it to replace spreadsheets of test cases with a shared, structured record of QA work.
It is offered as a commercial product rather than an open-source tool. Detailed capabilities, integrations and deployment options should be confirmed on the TestRail website, which also publishes a pricing page with the available editions.
