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

"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 has a very user-friendly interface."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"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."

"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

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."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."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"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."

"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."

"Better prediction of text."

"TestRail should improve its pricing."

"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."

"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."

"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."

"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."

"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."

"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."

"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"The product is not much expensive."

"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."

"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
