Sentinel

Centralize your entire QA cycle: requirements, test cases, defects and Kanban boards with full traceability and real-time KPIs.

−80%fewer manual reports
100%requirement → evidence traceability
−70%fewer status meetings
−35%less bug-resolution time
The challenge

What it solves.

Fragmented tooling

Requirements, tests and defects live in separate systems (Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, spreadsheets) and traceability gets lost between them.

Endless manual reporting

Hours spent manually pulling data from 3+ systems to build every status report.

Invisible scope creep

Scope changes surface weeks later, with no owner and no audit trail.

Disconnected defect resolution

Separate teams and tools stretch out every bug's lifecycle.

What it does

Every feature, a business benefit.

Real-time dashboard

KPIs with interactive charts, progress bars and WIP alerts: instant metrics instead of weekly manual reports.

Kanban boards

Boards with native drag-and-drop, WIP limits and configurable columns: moving a card between states is a single gesture.

Requirements + Scope Guardian

WYSIWYG editor and automatic BASE vs scope-creep classification: every scope change is audited with an owner.

Test cases

Parent/child hierarchies in suites with 100% traceability from requirement to test to evidence.

Test runs

Group executions into campaigns with automatic pass rates: you know who ran what and with what result.

Defect management

Full lifecycle across 7 states, managed in the same Kanban as your tasks.

Bulk import

Import requirements from Excel with column mapping and upload evidence via drag-and-drop.

How it is deployed

From signature to production.

01

Diagnosis and setup

Deployment on your infrastructure, user and role setup, requirement import and board creation. Week 1.

02

Pilot with the QA team

A team of 5-10 users creates cases, runs campaigns and logs defects, with the live dashboard. Week 1-2.

03

Rollout and training

Training per role (1 hour), historical data migration and CI/CD for automated deployments. Week 2.

Who it is for

A clear benefit for each role.

Finance

Consolidates several tools into one platform and cuts manual-reporting hours by 80%.

Operations

360° visibility into project status with real-time KPIs, 70% fewer meetings, and WIP alerts to spot bottlenecks.

Quality

100% requirement-to-evidence traceability, Scope Guardian against scope creep, and an audit trail ready for certifications.

FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Which tools does Sentinel replace?

It replaces Jira, TestRail, Zephyr, Confluence and Excel with a single platform for requirements, cases, runs, defects and Kanban.

How long does implementation take?

Deployment takes under 1 hour with a single command. The pilot starts in week one and full rollout lands in week two.

Can we import our current data?

Yes. It includes bulk import from Excel with column mapping; for other tools, the team handles migration during setup.

Does it work for remote teams?

Yes. It's a web app; the real-time dashboard, Kanban boards and notifications keep the team in sync.
