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."SpecFlow's best feature is the ability to add additional layers to the programming."
"One of the most valuable features of SpecFlow for us is its risk identification capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is unit testing...It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework."
"The initial setup is easy."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"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."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."
"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."
"Regarding improvement, it would be good if SpecFlow could provide chain testing, which it currently doesn't allow."
"I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files."
"SpecFlow's installation and configuration can be a bit challenging due to its flexibility as an open-source tool."
"SpecFlow would be improved with the addition of functionality reporting, which would be really helpful for automation testing."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"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."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"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."
