Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is code coverage.""It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."

More Parasoft Development Testing Platform Pros →

"My teams uses it for their daily agile management. They describe their user stories and track the progress of their projects.""It's designed around Agile, so it has all of the pieces that match up with the process.""It drives the conversation behind some of the pain points the teams have, based on the data that we're able to pull out of the system. As a result of that, we're able to make better decisions, to become better as a whole.""Agile Central allows us to log one hundred percent of the work we do and it allows for no hidden work, so teams can't go under the radar with what they're working on.""Its ability to scale.""The reporting, and being able to roll that up across the verticals, was an important selling point for us.""It's very user-friendly.""The main ways that I used it when I was in it day to day was keeping up with the burn rate within the teams. Also, to track at the feature level too, as far as how we were doing with actually being able to deliver that feature."

Cons
"The solution's speed has room for improvement.""Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."

More Parasoft Development Testing Platform Cons →

"I'd like the ability to customize reports without having to incur Professional Services, or having to write my own code GitHub and then implement that as a custom report. That's untenable. It's not sustainable.""I think the interface could be a little bit more visual and less wordy. Right now, it seems like it's just a lot of text on the page. In other ticketing systems where it's more visual, you can see more of a flow. But in this one it's more just a list of tasks. I would like to see that a little bit better, especially considering it has so many great organizational features, like child tasks, different artifacts. It would be great to see it presented more appropriately.""I think there is a missing link with the development activity. Some developers are pushing in new versions of the code, but you cannot make the link from the user story to a specific application version.""In Rally Software, the connection with GitLab and GitHub needs improvement.""CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included.""A lot of the features that we would be looking to add, I am learning may not be within Agile Central, but part of another CA tool set.""It could improve by being self-organizing: user stories, different hierarchies, and different perspectives. Not just as a single hierarchical structure, but something that can be multidimensional.""It requires better scalability for the implementation of the whole suite. We do not use it in that fashion, and visibility is sometimes a problem."

  • "The license costs are fairly high as compared to some of the other solutions out there."
  • "From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."
