We performed a comparison between Jira and Parasoft Development Testing Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the feature of assigning. Whenever I have an issue, Jira doesn't stop at just letting me describe the issue. I can also assign the issue to a developer, and the developer gets notified about it. After he is able to work on it, he can update the status and revert back to me through the same platform. It really avoids a lot of communication over email and phone. This the feature that I really like about Jira. I always use Jira with my team."
"For QA, the most interesting for me are boards, backlog, and filters."
"Jira as a structure has Confluence for documentation, and for what it is offering it is a strong suit with Atlassian."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the source linking on the commit level to git."
"I found it super useful, as it is customizable for different teams and users."
"The burndown charts help track projects."
"When we run the Jenkins pipeline, the build is already automatically connected to Jira. We've been able to integrate the ecosystem we created using this automation tool."
"The most valuable features of Jira are all the integrations with other systems. It's not the best in any specific area but it has lots of plug-ins and integrations."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"There's been the odd amount of JIRA downtime (not self hosted) and sometimes tickets that can't be accessed."
"Pretty much 70% - 80% of the Next-Gen Projects features are still to be developed."
"Some of the interfaces, especially on the administrator side and for permissions, are not so clear. They aren't very user-friendly."
"This solution could be improved by including a different model for the overall planning perspective. There's a Jira portfolio that we aren't using. The only challenge we're facing is that we cannot see the overall planning."
"The permissions can be challenging to get right."
"The automation feature needs to be more user-friendly."
"Could offer an improved user experience."
"We'd like to use it with non-Agile projects in the future, however, right now, it is a very Agile-focused product."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
