Featured Reviews

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…
Gaurav Chandel - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosted productivity with automated pipelines and seamless collaboration
There are some challenges with repository file management as GitLab may struggle to manage larger files. Improvements could be made regarding size management and file partitioning. Also, the UI has remained the same for a couple of years and could benefit from an update with AI features and better customization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"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 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 data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very flexible and easy because you can store data on cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"It is a speedy platform compared to the others I have used. I have also enjoyed using the platform as this solution offers a good user experience."
"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"GitLab can improve the integration with third-party applications. It could be made easier. Additionally, having API control from my application could be helpful."
"We'd always like to see better pricing on the product."
"The solution could be faster."
"I have encountered issues with the deployment of CI/CD pipelines, especially dealing with variable environments."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"I would like configuration of a YML file to be done via UI rather than a code file."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"GitLab is comparatively expensive, but it provides value because it's feature-rich."
"In total, I believe we have more than 300 licenses spread over about 100 users, though I can't comment on the costs involved."
"It seems reasonable. Our IT team manages the licenses."
"I'm not sure if they have some kind of discount. I've been negotiating with them on prices before, and I believe they weren't too happy to give discounts, but list prices are $19 per user, per month for Premium and $99 per user, per month for Ultimate. So, the difference between Premium and Ultimate is a bit bigger, and in most companies, you need to build some type of business case."
"We are currently using the open-source version."
"The initial setup cost is excellent and you can add the premium features later."
"The solution is free."
"There are different licensing options available, including a free limited-user license."
