Nextiva Overview

Nextiva is a business communications and customer experience software company. Its business conversation platform brings together communications, customer interactions, collaboration, and AI tools to help businesses grow revenue, retain customers, and improve productivity.

Testing at Nextiva spans QA, development, and product management teams. Before AIO Tests, testing lived in TestRail Enterprise, a standalone tool outside Jira, so every team had to leave its main workflow to work with test cases.

Challenges Before Using AIO Tests

Nextiva managed testing in TestRail Enterprise, a standalone application completely separate from Jira. That setup created friction for the teams that relied on it.

Why AIO Tests?

After evaluating several test management solutions, Nextiva selected AIO Tests for the following reasons:

  • Jira integration that fits existing workflows.
  • Simple configuration: test cases use AIO Tests’ own keys, not Jira issue keys.
  • Smooth migration experience.
  • Responsive support during setup and migration.

Onboarding took just two one-hour calls with the AIO team. Existing Jira spaces map directly to AIO Tests projects, and roles and permissions carry over automatically, so the tool was largely self-explanatory from day one.

Key Features Adopted

  • Test authoring and execution: write test cases and run them in test cycles.
  • REST API: automation posts results and screenshots back automatically.
  • Auto test creation: their automation creates missing cases, links them, and fills in the steps on the first run.
  • Custom fields: add, remove, or require any field.
  • Bug logging: raise defects from the execution cycle with details attached.

User Experience and Usability

  • Intuitive from day one: simple naming and strong field-level customization.
  • Easier than TestRail: Harun found navigation noticeably easier.
  • Self-service: teams onboard and work on their own, without QA leadership stepping in.
  • Clear documentation: short videos and GIFs mean a support call is rarely needed.
The Results

The Results: An Estimated 20–30 Minutes Saved per Bug

“It's easy to understand and feature-rich. The APIs are excellent — it's an especially strong choice if you have a mature automation practice. Onboarding is quick, and the documentation, with its short videos and GIFs, is good enough that you barely need a call.”
Harun Sharma, QA Manager
“With AIO Tests, raising a bug from the execution cycle auto-attaches the screenshots and video from the automation run… Our team estimates that this saves approximately 20–30 minutes per bug.”
