"This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail."
"In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options.

"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
