Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components
CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…
Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved agility and time to market with CI/CD enhancements
The CI/CD pipelines in GitLab are highly valuable. Another important feature is the single source of repository, allowing efficient repository management and source code management. GitLab provides manageability by allowing us to manage source code effectively through separate repositories. Additionally, GitLab enables the creation of individual CI/CD pipelines for each repository, making software more agile. By integrating GitLab as a DevOps platform, we have enhanced agility, improved our time to market, and different teams can work collaboratively on various projects.

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 of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The solution is stable."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"I recommend GitLab for DevOps engineers."
"The scalability is good."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"I have found the most valuable features of GitLab are the GitClone, GitPush, GitPull, GitMatch, GitMit, GitCommit, and GitStatus."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
 

Cons

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"Regarding improvements, making task management is something that GitLab can potentially make easier, similar to what DevOps or Jira does."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"Technologies are always changing. Nowadays, new things like serverless computing and workload management have emerged. We have noticed a few gap items for faster service delivery. For example, we do user interface testing in the latest team and automate it using some tools. Recently, we integrated a tool with user interface testing, which can simulate a multi-user environment. So, we would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files."
"Reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is very expensive. We can't bear it now, and we have to find another solution. We have a yearly subscription in which we can increase the number of licenses, but we have to pay at the end of the year."
"The solution's standard license is paid annually. They have changed the pricing model and it used to be better. There is a free version available."
"The solution is based on a subscription model and is reasonably priced."
"The initial setup cost is excellent and you can add the premium features later."
"The solution is free."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"Its price is fine. It is on the cheaper side and not expensive. You have to pay additionally for GitLab CI/CD minutes. Initially, we used the free version. When we ran out of GitLab minutes, we migrated to the paid version."
"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
