# Test Management

> Create manual test cases, organize suites, and run manual testing workflows in TestDino.

Test Management in TestDino is a workspace for building your manual test repository and running manual testing activities. It covers test case design, suite organization, planned runs, exploratory sessions, releases, and links from manual test cases to automated Playwright tests.

<Note>
  Test Management starts on the **Pro** plan and is not included on the Free plan. Limits scale by plan: manual test cases per project (Pro 250, Team 1,000), manual runs per month (Pro 10, Team 100), and exploratory sessions per month (Pro 5, Team 50). Enterprise is custom. See [Pricing](/pricing#test-management-limits).

## Test Cases and Manual Testing

Test Management spans 2 connected areas.

| Area               | What It Does                                                                  | When to Use                                      |
| :----------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- |
| **Test Cases**     | Create, organize, classify, import, and maintain your manual test repository  | Designing and maintaining reusable test coverage |
| **Manual Testing** | Group work into releases, execute manual runs, and track exploratory sessions | Running planned or exploratory testing cycles    |

## Manual Testing Views

Inside `Manual Testing`, TestDino separates execution work into 3 tabs.
