# Tester by Alcyone Systems

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/564349/Tester-by-Alcyone-Systems

> Tester is a self-hosted test management tool for teams that need to know, at any moment, what was tested, what passed and what broke, without handing their data to a cloud service.

Who it is for: QA leads and engineering managers at teams of roughly 2 to 50 engineers who are tired of test results living in one engineer's terminal. If you have ever asked "did the smoke tests run last night?" and waited an hour for the answer, Tester was built for you. It fits especially well in teams with on-premises or data-residency requirements: banks, healthcare, public sector, and anyone who cannot send test traffic outside their own network.

How it works day to day: tests are plain text, one line per action, so a manual tester can write them and a manager can read them. The same suite format drives web, API and mobile tests. Runs, Allure reports, defects and schedules live on one dashboard. When something fails, the team hears about it in Slack, email or a Jira issue that Tester opens and updates itself.

What makes it different: it installs on your own machines in minutes, from signed installers for Windows, macOS and Debian or Ubuntu, and it is light enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. A built-in self-check suite tests the installation through its own dashboard, so you can prove the setup works with one click. An optional GenAI layer drafts suites from a requirements document using your own local model, and everything it writes is reviewable plain text.

Support: you talk directly to the engineer who built the product. Bug reports are answered fast and fixes ship in days, not quarters. A 30-day free trial is included, no card required.
