Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, Microsoft, IDERA and others in Test Management Tools."The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"TestRail should improve its pricing."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."
"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."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"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."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
