    Designer Pro $39 a month or $390 a year (Power $79). Reporter $12 per tester a month or $120 a year.

  • AI test case generation

    TestRail
    AI Test Case Generation turns requirements into structured test cases; AI-generated cases are labeled and wait for your review. All AI features are included on every plan.
    Quorum
    DesignerDesigner reads the story, its epic and linked tickets, drafts the suite and turns each rule the story leaves open into a question instead of a guess. Every case and every change is a proposal your QA accepts.

  • Bugs from failed tests

    TestRail
    A tester finishes a run, spots a failure and pushes a defect to Jira from inside TestRail.
    Quorum
    ReporterComing soonFrom a failed result, AI drafts the Jira bug (steps, expected and actual result, environment). Nothing is created until a person accepts it.

  • Import from other tools

    TestRail
    CSV and XML import and export on all plans; migration help through its Concierge service.
    Quorum
    No automatic import yet. Designer sends new cases to your current tool, so you can start without moving anything.

  • Hosting

    TestRail
    Cloud on every plan; on-premise on Professional and Enterprise, with 10 or more seats and a 12-month minimum contract.
    Quorum
    Cloud only, for Jira Cloud.

What Quorum adds

AI-assisted.
Never autonomous.

In our view, a test case is only as good as the rule it checks, and generating first leaves the cleanup to you. That is why the AI asks, proposes and drafts, and a person decides.

  • AI that asks instead of guessing

    When a story leaves a rule open, Designer asks, with concrete options: blocking when the answer changes what a case expects, an assumption stated out loud when it does not. Cases that rest on an open question are flagged.

    Designer

  • Proposals your QA reviews

    Every new case and every change arrives as a proposal, a diff your QA accepts, edits or rejects. Nothing reaches Jira or your test tool until a person accepts it.

    Designer

  • Bug drafts, not bug spam

    From a failed result, Reporter’s AI drafts the Jira bug from the case, the failed step, your note and the story. A person edits and accepts it; only then is it created and linked.

Which to choose

Pick the tool
that fits your team.

TestRail is the better choice for some teams, and we would rather say so here than lose your trust later. Or use both: Designer works with TestRail.

Choose TestRail if

  • You need on-premise hosting, or Jira Data Center.
  • You have years of cases to bring over by CSV or XML today.
  • You want AI that also writes automation scripts and prioritizes tests (TestRail’s AI Test Script Generation and AI Test Prioritization).
  • You want a 30-day trial without a card.

Choose Quorum if

  • Your stories leave rules open, and you want the AI to ask about them instead of guessing.
  • You want to keep TestRail and add AI test design in front of it: Designer sends to TestRail.
  • You would rather pay $12 per tester for test management once Reporter launches.
  • You want AI-drafted Jira bugs that a person reviews before they are created.

Moving from TestRail

No import wizard yet.
Nothing to move today.

Quorum cannot import your TestRail cases automatically today, and we will not pretend it can. This is how teams start without moving anything.

  1. 01

    Keep TestRail, add Designer

    Nothing moves. Designer creates the accepted cases in your TestRail project, with the Jira story in their References.

  2. 02

    Switch at the next release

    When Reporter launches, new cases go into a Reporter folder. Recreate only the regression cases you still run.

  3. 03

    Keep the history

    Leave TestRail read-only for its old runs until you no longer need them. We can plan the move with you, folder by folder.

FAQ

Questions about Quorum and TestRail.

Is Quorum a TestRail alternative?
In part, today. Quorum Designer is AI test design, not test management: it writes the cases of a Jira story and sends them to TestRail. Quorum Reporter is the test management part, at $12 per tester a month. Reporter is coming soon: it is not on sale yet.
How does Quorum’s price compare to TestRail?
At list prices as of October 2026, TestRail is $22 per user a month on Essentials (up to 5 users), $38 on Professional and $78 on Enterprise, billed yearly. Quorum Reporter is $12 per tester a month ($120 a year), and Designer is $39 a month per person. The calculator on this page does the math for your team.
Does TestRail have AI test case generation?
Yes. TestRail’s pages describe AI Test Case Generation, which turns requirements into structured test cases that are labeled as AI-generated and wait for your review, along with AI test script generation and prioritization. Its pricing page says every plan includes its AI features.
Does Quorum work with TestRail?
Yes. Designer sends the cases your QA accepts straight into TestRail, linked to their Jira story. You keep TestRail for runs and reports and add AI test design in front of it, from $39 a month per person.
Can I import my TestRail test cases into Quorum?
Not automatically yet. Start with your next release: Designer writes the new cases, you recreate the regression cases you still run, and TestRail stays read-only for its history. For a hand-held move, write to support@usequorum.dev. Reporter is coming soon: it is not on sale yet.
Is Quorum an Atlassian Marketplace app?
No. Quorum is a separate web app that connects to Jira Cloud with an API token, so there is nothing to install in Jira and nothing billed per Jira user. Jira Server and Data Center are not supported.
Does the AI write to Jira on its own?
Never. Designer proposes cases and changes; your QA accepts each one before anything reaches Jira or TestRail. In Reporter, a bug drafted by AI is created only after a person accepts it.
