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."Integration with Confluence and JIRA."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"I use the solution for test management."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."
"Most valuable features are the ease of organizing test cases and a great API for sending results from automated test run results into the database."
"Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"I like the build management features and the integration with Jenkins and many other tools."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"The most valuable feature is the backlog."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."
"The reports should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"TestRail should improve its pricing."
"I'd like to see some kind of visualization tool for TFS that would make life much easier."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"The solution's server for deployment needs to be improved."
"TFS should allow more integration with different platforms."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"The price could be cheaper."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
