Integrating testRigor with TestRail enables seamless synchronization between test case management and automated test execution powered by generative AI. Achieve scalability, broader test coverage, efficiency, and stable test cases with near-zero maintenance through intelligent test automation. Through TestRail and testRigor’s integration, teams benefit from streamlined workflows, reduced manual effort, and faster feedback loops—ideal for continuous testing environments.
The challenge
In today’s fast-paced DevOps environments—especially with the rise of AI-enabled applications and continuous testing—test automation is essential. Time and effort are among the most valuable currency in Agile development and QA teams are under constant pressure to deliver faster without compromising quality. While automation is required to meet these demands, implementing and managing it effectively presents several challenges. This is especially true when manual testing, test automation, and test case management systems operate in silos.
When automated tests run in a separate framework created and maintained by QA engineers, the results are often only accessible to those engineers and their direct managers. This lack of visibility makes it difficult for QA leads, developers, and non-technical stakeholders to stay informed about test coverage, progress, and failures in real time—leading to slower feedback loops, communication gaps, and a higher risk of releasing undetected issues.
Separate management of manual and automated tests also compromises traceability. Without clear links between requirements, test cases, and execution results, teams struggle to identify gaps in coverage or audit QA activities—an especially critical issue in regulated industries.
A lack of integration can also lead to duplicated effort. Without automated syncing, QA teams must manually update test management tools with automation outcomes — a process that is both time-consuming and prone to error. This manual overhead not only slows down workflows but also introduces inconsistencies in reporting and planning. As applications grow in complexity, so does the need for a unified approach to manage test cases, execution, and reporting. When tools don’t communicate effectively, teams struggle to scale efficiently, respond quickly to changes, and stay aligned across QA and development.
The solution
With advancements in generative AI, NLP, Vision AI, and other intelligent technologies, QA teams now have powerful tools to accelerate and enhance the testing process. By integrating these AI-driven capabilities with a centralized test management system like TestRail, teams can achieve greater speed, scalability, and stability. testRigor’s generative AI allows you to convert manual tests in TestRail into plain-English automated tests—making it easy to execute them alongside your existing automated suite.
The TestRail Quality OS streamlines testing operations by providing real-time visibility across projects and instilling confidence in every release. It offers a centralized view of all of your testing processes through an intuitive, organized test case management system.
testRigor is a powerful no-code test automation platform that empowers both technical and non-technical users to create stable, human-readable tests in plain English. It supports testing across a wide range of platforms, including web, mobile (hybrid/native), desktop, databases, mainframes, LLMs, and chatbots.
The integration between testRigor and TestRail creates a seamless connection between automation and test case management. It enables teams to directly link automated test cases in testRigor with their corresponding test cases in TestRail. Test results from testRigor are also automatically synced with TestRail, providing reports of execution status.
About the integration
Integrating TestRail with testRigor allows you to directly link test cases between the two platforms, automatically create test runs every time you execute your tests, and utilize TestRail’s milestone and test plan features. Integrating TestRail with testRigor is simple — once complete, you can run the automated and manual (converted to automation) tests directly within testRigor.
Getting started is easy—just navigate to testRigor’s ‘Settings’ and enter your ‘Project ID’ and ‘Password/API Key’ to enable the integration. Once integration is enabled, you can go to your testRigor test cases and start linking them to the test cases in TestRail.You’ll also be able to import your manual tests from TestRail and convert them directly into plain-English automated tests using testRigor’s gen AI.
After integration, every time you perform a full testRigor rerun, a new Test Run will automatically be created in TestRail. Each linked test case will display a pass/fail status, with detailed results and logs available in a centralized view—making it easy for all stakeholders to access and analyze.
Benefits of using Curiosity Software with TestRail
- Centralized Test Management: Link testRigor’s automated test cases directly with TestRail’s management system to centralize control of both manual and automated tests. This eliminates silos and simplifies oversight.
- Importing Manual Tests as Automated: After integration, you can directly convert TestRail’s manual test cases to automated ones using testRigor’s gen AI capabilities.
- Test Multiple Platforms: This integration allows you to create or write automated tests in plain English for web, mobile, desktop, database, LLMs, mainframes, chatbots, graphs, AI features, and many more complex scenarios and track them from a centralized system.
- Real-Time Test Visibility: As testRigor runs your automated tests, results—including pass/fail status, logs, and screenshots—are automatically pushed to TestRail. This gives QA leads, developers, and stakeholders real-time insights without needing access to the automation tool.
- Improved Traceability: Linking automated test results back to specific TestRail test cases provides end-to-end traceability from requirements to execution—critical for auditing, compliance, and coverage analysis.
- Improved Collaboration Across Teams: Developers, testers, and product managers can all view and track test status from a single source of truth — TestRail. This promotes better cross-functional communication and faster issue resolution.
- Streamlined Workflows: Automated syncing between testRigor and TestRail eliminates manual status updates, speeding up regression cycles and shortening release timelines.
- Supports Scalable QA: As teams scale their testing efforts, maintaining consistent processes becomes challenging. The integration between testRigor and TestRail provides the foundation for repeatable, scalable QA practices that support continuous delivery pipelines.
How the integration works
Connecting testRigor with TestRail makes your testing process more streamlined and organized. The integration lets you link your TestRail test cases directly with testRigor. Every time you run your tests in testRigor, a new test run will automatically be created in TestRail—complete with pass/fail results for each linked case.
How to get started:
- Go to ‘Settings > Integrations’ in testRigor and turn on the TestRail integration.
- Once it’s on, go to your testRigor test cases and start linking them with the ones in TestRail.
- When you run a full rerun of your testRigor tests, TestRail will automatically show a test run with updated results.
For a step-by-step guide, see the TestRail documentation on integrating with testRigor.
Extra Settings: When you turn on the integration, you’ll see some new settings under the ‘CI/CD Integration’ tab. These are helpful if you run your tests as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
Importing Test Cases: After integration, a new button will appear in testRigor: “Import Test Cases from TestRail”
You can choose to:
- Import All Test Cases – Bring in all your TestRail test cases.
- Import Selected Test Cases – Only bring in the ones you choose.
Imported test cases will show as “Not Executed” and will be ready to run. If any parts of the test aren’t recognized as testRigor commands, they will be turned into AI-based reusable steps.
