Detailed Review
TestBench covers planning, design, execution and logging of test results. It supports manual and automated testing, keyword-driven and data-driven techniques and variant management, and links test data with requirements and error reports for traceability, with medical technology cited as an example.
TestBench is developed by imbus AG, Kleinseebacher Str. 9, Möhrendorf, Germany, which the imprint names as the publisher. The about page says the teams are located in Germany and Tunisia, where imbus Tunisia S.A.R.L. operates in Sousse.
Features
The vendor lists test design, planning, execution and evaluation, static analysis, AI assistance, versioning and variant management. It says versioning makes the process audit-proof and that open interfaces allow requirements from different systems to be used without changing tools.
Licensing
Licences are annual rentals, with floating licences available. The rental price includes basic support, updates and upgrades. Prices are not published; the vendor offers an info package, a free evaluation and expert appointments instead.
Development locations
Part of the development is done by imbus Tunisia S.A.R.L. in Sousse, Tunisia, an imbus subsidiary. The contracting and publishing company remains the German imbus AG.
Limitations to Consider
No prices, trial terms or hosting details are published on the pages checked. The tool is aimed at structured, process-heavy testing, which is more than a small agile team needs. Part of the development team sits in Tunisia. No free plan is listed.

Test organisations in regulated industries in Europe that need documented, versioned test design and traceability.
