There is definitely room for improvement there.""We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches.""Security needs improvement to protect customer information better.""We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation.

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
  • More PractiTest Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
  • "It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."
