Quickstart Overview

Get started with Testkube in 2 steps:

1. Select which installation path below that is right for you.
2. Get your evaluation license: sign up for a trial and we email you a key. Questions? Talk to our team.

1. Select an Installation Path

Select which installation path is right for you from the below options:

🛠 Individual Evaluation: Local Deployment, Full Potential

Best for individual evaluators investigating Testkube before sharing it with others. Needs only Docker. One command sets up everything.

Goal: Run a test locally with minimal friction

Persona: Individual developer / technical evaluator

Intended for: UI exploration, manual triggers, sample workflows

Time to value: under 15 minutes

🛠 Team Evaluation: Your Cluster, Real Tests

Best for teams investigating Testkube in real-life scenarios. Requires Kubernetes cluster access with sufficient permissions for deployment and debugging

Goal: Install the full Testkube platform into a shared environment, running real tests

Persona: Team Lead, Senior DevOps Engineer, QA Lead

Intended for: Orchestrating existing tests, tying into CICD, event triggers, and getting a real-world feel for the tool

Time to value: ≤ a sprint

🛠 Enterprise POC: Strategic Pilot, Global Roll-out

Best for enterprise architecture or central tooling teams evaluating tooling to support strategic initiatives

Goal: Evaluate Testkube against enterprise requirements like security, scalability, reporting, integrations, and in line with formal POC best practices

Persona: Engineering, DevOps, QA Leadership

Intended for: Integrating test orchestration into strategic initiatives around quality, speed of delivery, and cost reduction

Time to value: ≤ a quarter

2. Get your evaluation license

Sign up for a trial and we email you a license key. Questions? Talk to our team.

Want to try Testkube without installing anything?

Explore a trial environment that includes example workflows across multiple testing tools, along with execution results and insights so you can see how tests run, scale, and behave across environments.

How to get started

1. Sign in to the Testkube Cloud Control Plane.
2. Once authenticated, start your trial. We will walk you through the steps to get started.

You will now see the Dashboard without having to install a runner, and are free to explore/run existing Workflows, look at execution results, etc.
