- Attach tests to plans by means of drag and drop
- Loop test requirements with test data through point and click
- Dexterity to track down tests is catered by test plan aspect using a query tool
- Test plans are spawned naturally from test data tables
- Define the number of repetitions to repeat tests
- Group test plans into suites for execution
DEFECT TRACKING
AscentialTest is allied with Jira for defect tracking, which aids to manage the relationship between test results and defects. Failures may be associated with defects so that testers will be conveyed a message whenever the defects are fixed and ready for re-testing.

TEST EXECUTION MANAGEMENT
A Test Set may be created for a build, a sprint, a test cycle, or a project and more that can manage test execution, results, and reporting depending upon how your organization tests and delivers software.
- Generate a test Set combining automated and manual tests.
- Administer test results in a centralized database.
- Mention the reason for blocked or failed tests.
- Illustrate tests to explain their results.
- Generate and export test reports to PDF, HTML, EXCEL, RTF, TXT,TIF formats.
- Results are directed to email inevitably.
- View real-time results in the web portal.
