More SpecFlow Pros →

"I use the solution for test management.""I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""This is a user friendly solution.""From a testing perspective, the management is awesome. I am able to do testing and then add the reporting and the evidence. It is fair in terms of the price that you're paying. You get what you're paying for.""You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc.""The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard.""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.""Reliable and stable.

Cons
"Regarding improvement, it would be good if SpecFlow could provide chain testing, which it currently doesn't allow.""SpecFlow would be improved with the addition of functionality reporting, which would be really helpful for automation testing.""I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files.""SpecFlow's installation and configuration can be a bit challenging due to its flexibility as an open-source tool."

More SpecFlow Cons →

"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum.""It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be.""I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were.""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.""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.""The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."

  • "Negotiate the best deal you can."
  • "Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
  • "The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
  • "I give the price a five out of ten."
