Compare Global App Testing vs. Testpad

Global App Testing (GAT) allows tech teams to test in over 189 countries with over 60,000+ professional testers who use real devices and environments. Enhance your testing process and increase release quality and speed whilst improving budget efficiency via the GAT platform, which is fully integrated to work seamlessly with your existing DevOps or CI/CD tools. Whether you are looking for full time QA support, or to manage spikes in your release cycles, the GAT integration-led approach empowers you to manage your entire testing workflow from test launch to results analysis without leaving your existing tooling (such as Github, Jira, Testrail etc). Through our integrated platform, we enable unscripted exploratory testing and scripted functional test case execution to be embedded within your CI/CD and SDLC processes, providing the perfect synergy with your automation testing tools. Test results are returned in real time. Start receiving results in as little as 15 minutes with a full bug report delivered within a few hours, enabling quick feedback on critical issues and edge cases.

Testpad is a powerful tool designed for creating test plans that focus on identifying the most critical bugs. By minimizing the time spent dealing with outdated spreadsheets or conventional test case management systems, you can dedicate more time to actual testing performed by human testers, allowing them to actively seek out new issues. This is particularly beneficial for areas where automation isn't feasible or for tasks that haven't yet been automated. Agile teams have a strong affinity for Testpad, as its keyboard-friendly interface, checklist format, and drag-and-drop functionality align perfectly with the fast-paced nature of development. The traditional method of writing heavy Test Cases one by one feels outdated, and the checklist style simplifies the process, enabling you to focus more on testing. With an impressively quick learning curve, even those with minimal experience can step in during critical moments. Quality Assurance teams can easily involve managers, developers, outsourced testers, and even friends to enhance their efforts. You can immerse yourself in the task at hand, generating hundreds of test ideas in just a few minutes. Whether you prefer to write tests upfront, import user stories, or introduce new tests during the testing phase, Testpad offers the flexibility to accommodate all these approaches seamlessly. Additionally, its intuitive design promotes collaboration among team members, ensuring that everyone can contribute effectively to the testing process.
