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…
StuartBarker - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that provides effective test management and real-time reporting capabilities
I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira where the status of tests is not displayed (in Jira) due to I suspect security settings on the browser. In a large corporate environment, it is not easily changed. The support wasn't particularly helpful. It would be great if I could create custom reports, ideally with a tool designed specifically for that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"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."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"The biggest advantage of using TestRail is its simplicity and intuitive interface."
"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."
"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."
"I use the solution for test management."
"The product helps us create test cases and reports."
"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"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."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"Better prediction of text."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product is not much expensive."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
