Core Concepts

Understand the key entities in Qualflare — workspaces, projects, test cases, suites, plans, launches, defects, milestones, and AI features.

Core Concepts

Qualflare is built around a set of core entities that work together to cover the full QA lifecycle. Understanding these entities and how they relate will help you get the most out of Qualflare.

The entities fall into four groups: organizational (who has access to what), testing (what you're going to test and how it's organized), execution (what happened when you ran it), and AI & automation (what Qualflare infers on top of your results). Each concept page below explains what the entity is, how it fits into the others, and links to the matching how-to guide and reference page.
