Cons
"Lacking visual gadgets that go on a dashboard, pie charts, bar charts and histograms.""I don't like that you need to use a lot of tabs. One test case takes 15-20 minutes and on Zephyr is take about 5-10 minutes.""They should work on integrating the solution with AI."

More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Cons →

"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation.""This solution could be improved by making it easier to visualize where there is a failure without having to look at it in detail.""There could be API interfaces with this tool.""In SmartBear TestComplete the integration with Jenkins could be easier. Additionally, some of the controls could have better customization options. For example, if a grid is used and it contains multiple controls within it, it can be a checkbox, radio button, or any kind of control, the way the Object Spy is operating currently there is a lot of room for improvement.""The test object repository needs to be improved. The hierarchy and the way we identify the objects in different applications, irrespective of technology, needs adjustments. The located and test objects are not as flexible compared to other commercial tools.""The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT.""Increased performance with less memory and CPU usage.""The pricing is the constraint."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing is rather expensive for those that have many users."
  • More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The product is becoming more and more expensive."
  • "My advice so far, is that while it’s not quite as powerful and easy to use as UFT, its price tag more than makes up for it."
  • "The price is less, compared to other products, such as QTP."
  • "Buy modules on demand. If you have a four-person team and they will each automate tests only 25% of the time, it's better to buy a floating licence and share the tool during the work day."
  • "TestComplete now have come up with three modules (Web, Desktop & Mobile), so based on the type of product for automation, it is adequate to purchase the required module."
  • "This is a pay-per-use service that is not expensive, and cost-efficient if you have a small team."
  • "The option we chose was around $2,000 USD."
  • "The licensing costs are in the range of $1,000 to $3,000."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Sandhiya T S., Sr Solutions Engineer at Lexington Soft, relates, “The record and replay aspects of the solution are quite useful for people. With them, you don't have to write any scripts. Basically, you can record your actions and play them back later. The initial setup is also very easy.”
