Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution.""We don't use technical support. We have an office in Austria that provides us with solutions. Also, this solution is pretty simple and user-friendly. We don't really need help with it.""The program is very stable and scalable.""You can group test cases together and track the execution of them."

"The most valuable features of Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer are ease of use, saving time for the team who builds test cases, and visibility of test cases.""The modeling is a game-changer.""Technical support is excellent. They provide solutions quickly for issues encountered.""The support that we get from Broadcom is great.""It takes away all the time to construct test cases, so it is all automatic now, but it also levels the playing field.""It helped us to move from manual testing to automation testing.""The ability to create models/diagrams at multiple levels (nest/embed them) helps in taking models from high-level business requirements and building them into detailed requirements models and test models. Plus, it helps reuse lower level models. It also allows maintaining models at appropriate levels, even for very complex systems/solutions.""​The scale possibilities are endless, especially when combined with all the other products that CA has to offer."

Cons
"Lacking visual gadgets that go on a dashboard, pie charts, bar charts and histograms.""They should work on integrating the solution with AI.""I don't like that you need to use a lot of tabs. One test case takes 15-20 minutes and on Zephyr is take about 5-10 minutes."

More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Cons →

"Integration with Agile management tools can be improved, i.e., mainly test case maintenance and linking test cases to the automation script.""It would help if it would save different subsets of test cases, use cases, etc., of a given diagram, for different purposes and provide an easy way to name those subsets.""Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer could improve the UI. Other solutions have a much better UI. The new UI should have a new modern framework.""CA ARD doesn't provide integration with Tosca. The possibility of creating a test case and exporting it into Tosca is not available. Integration with end-to-end automation tools, like Worksoft or Tosca, is not provided by CA ARD as of now.""The solution could improve security and authentication.""A template in App Test should be created in advance. This has proven to be time consuming. The process is not fully automated, because there is a lot of manual intervention is required.""Needs improvement in aligning models so they look clear and readable without having to move boxes around.""Data flexibility is something which I would like to see, along with more integration with App Test."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing is rather expensive for those that have many users."
  • More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "​The cost of the tool was well worth the benefit that we saw on the back-end."
  • "We were able to scale down some resources to basically self-fund our ability to purchase the tool."
  • "This tool reduces the cost associated with test cases, automation script generation, and maintenance costs."
  • "It is less costly when compared to other tools on the market."
  • "Recommendation is to go with concurrent licenses as oppose to seat license; this gives more flexibility."
  • "At present, Broadcom works through partners rather than dealing directly with the consumer. When there are discounts given, it's up to the partner as to whether they want to give that discount to the customer. Sometimes, the partners decide to take the discount themselves. Pricewise, I would give ARD's price a rating of three out of five."
  • "The pricing model is based on how many people are using it. We have an annual license. There are not any additional costs."
