"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."

"While RQM allows for running tests and viewing results, it could be further enhanced in terms of performance and speed."

"Better prediction of text."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"TestRail should improve its pricing."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"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."
