Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product helps us create test cases and reports."
"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
"I use the solution for test management."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"From a testing perspective, the management is awesome. I am able to do testing and then add the reporting and the evidence. It is fair in terms of the price that you're paying. You get what you're paying for."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"We use TFS for forecast management."
"TFS' most valuable feature is the triage process. It is a robust solution that is easy to use."
"TFS is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is its compatibility with Microsoft Windows systems. We have predominantly Microsoft solutions and TFS work well."
"Version Control: TFS offers both the centralized “TFVC” version control technology as well as the distributed “Git” version control technology."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"Stability is okay."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."
"The solution's server for deployment needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
"It would be better if we could bring it out on the cloud."
"Merging branches is definitely one of the more challenging aspects for people new to TFS."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"In the next release, I would like them to include integration for various projects, similar to what JIRA has, and they could create this feature on the dashboard."
