Testomat.io features that work with mixed test execution
Sync tests with Testomat.io
Imports tests from Playwright, Cypress, pytest, Jest, and other frameworks, so a mixed run always matches the current source.
Test plan
Test plan allows you to follow your testing strategy. Add tests regardless of their status, combine them into logical groups depending on the context, and start running without switching between windows.
Tags for manual and automated tests
A project can hold thousands of test cases, and your plan only needs some of them. Type @ in a test title to tag it. One tag covers both manual and automated tests, so you filter by it and add the whole group to a plan in seconds.
CI/CD execution
Run all or specific automated tests from your pipeline once CI/CD is set up. Trigger runs on every commit with the GitHub and GitLab integration, and send results from any CI service like Jenkins, CircleCI, or Bamboo. The results land in the same mixed run next to your manual checks.
Real-time report
A mixed run can take hours. The development team doesn’t have to wait. The report updates during execution: which tests finished, passed, failed, or got skipped. You read the product status before the run ends.
Test results heatmaps
Spot the riskiest areas of your product at a glance. Heatmaps highlight where defects cluster and where coverage is thin, so QA effort goes where it pays off.
Mixed run in Jira
Run manual and automated tests from a Jira ticket and watch results land in the issue as they come in. When the run finishes, attach the report with one click so the whole team sees what was tested without leaving Jira.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Mixed Run in Testomat.io?
A Mixed Run combines manual and automated tests in a single execution. Automated tests run on CI or from the CLI while testers work manual cases, and every result arrives in the same report.
Do I need CI to use Mixed Runs?
No. Disable the CI build and run automation with a single CLI command. The results arrive in the same run.
Can I rerun only the failed automated tests?
Yes. On CI runs, Relaunch Failed re-executes only the tests that broke, under the same run ID and report, so you skip a full re-run.
Can I change a run after it starts?
Yes. Add tests or a whole plan to a run in progress, and reassign manual cases while it runs. The results stay together.
Which frameworks work with a Mixed Run?
Testomat.io imports automated tests from Playwright, Cypress, CodeceptJS, WebdriverIO, Jest, Mocha, pytest, JUnit, and more. See the full list in the docs.
