Hello, my name is Nikita and here is a brief story about Qase.io birth.
One day I was checking a test plan for a product I was working on. This test plan was composed by our QA guys in TestRails. It is really a great software for test case management, but why it looks so bad? I got an idea, to build a test case management system that won't look like a website from the 90s and will have a great UI and UX. That was a starting point.
I've started digging into quality assurance. I've learned the basics, talked to people in other companies about their problems in software testing. Talked to small and big QA teams. That helped me to find some problems, that hadn't been solved by other solutions like TestRails and etc.
So for now, Qase.io is not a common test case management tool with good UI/UX. It has unique features and can compete with big players.
