Windows · macOS · Linux

Your TMS, your way

Bring your cases over - or run the whole thing in git.

Import what you already have from another TMS and keep working locally - or go all-in and run Kensa as a full-cycle test-management system. Either way every case is a plain file in your repo. Your data never lives on someone else's server.

  • Migrate existing cases from another TMS
  • Work locally, commit when you're ready
  • Run Kensa as your full-cycle TMS
  • Everything stored in your own git repo

Built-in tools

The utilities QA reaches for - without leaving the IDE.

Browser - Launch & drive Chrome over CDP

Browser

Spin up a real Chrome straight from the IDE and drive it over CDP. Wire browser routines to the kensa CLI so an agent can open a page, check it, and write the result back to the case.

Under the hood

Not just a case editor. A CLI built for agents.

A 30-command binary ships with the app, already on your terminal's PATH. Agents use it to navigate huge test bases, analyze and validate them - filter, lint, dedupe, coverage, traceability. And migration runs both ways: import cases in, then export them back to your TMS.

Built for both humans and AI agents.
